    About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. We dream that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

    Just a word of warning. I watch many farming channels, most farmers warn they’re more likely to be hurt by hand raised ‘gentle’ bulls than any other. They’re stronger and don’t have boundaries. Please be careful.

      I was about to say the same. I grew up with cattle, and even though the bull is friendly when they are young. Its a different story when the testosterone is getting high, the animal get big, and they are the alpha, and so on.. My advice is always have a planned escape route, know their bodylanguage and always keep close attention. This is important for all cattle, but especially with bulls.. Love your channel, just a heads up :)

      Same goes for cows, it is nice to have friendly cows but they really don’t understand how big they are, biggest thing to remember is to never pet/stroke their heads, it will lead to head butting, best to have them well socialised but not overly

      Yes ! A Hereford that was raised from a calf almost killed a chap I worked alongside during the summer holidays, when I was still a schoolboy. That morning, it barred his exit from a field and the only way he survived was by wrestling it by its nostrils. He was bloodied in the face and in a fair amount of discomfort in the rib/chest area. He had the animal put down immediately.

      My niece and nephew bought a highland calf and treated him like a puppy - he was very very friendly. He literally would run up to you like a dog when you pulled into their yard. At 2 years old he ran full speed ahead to my nephew and tossed him so far up in the air he landed and broke both arms. After that they tried to pen him up Instead of letting him run free. He had none of it and broke out every night running the street, banging down their front door etc etc. it got very dangerous. They finally had to get rid of him.

    When you render the suet, remember to do it outside with good ventilation. Suet is nasty because it evaporates and sits around. When you turn off the heat, it will start condensing on all your surfaces and when you go to clean it, you need to scrape it off all your cabinets etc.

We started in Washington state and our lead Cal was a Washington state champion and she was AI inseminated to an international champion and we got a beautiful mahogany brindle bowl out of our red lead cow! He was bucking all over the place before he was even knee-high and I wrote the little guy to tame him! He became a freight train and lived almost 15 years before we put him in the freezer! He was the tastiest beef my children said they had ever eaten! We loved him dearly and he was like a giant puppy dog and would load up in any trailer and we could deliver him for both service to our friends! We took our cattle and set up at the fair is just like you!

We are constantly trying to strike the balance between figuring out a solution that works for right now vs. doing it right/'perfect' the first time so it doesn't need anymore time or attention. It's great when you hit the sweet spot with a simple solution.
    We planted our first orchard (zone 2) this year, so yes, I would like to see videos about fruit trees.

    I think with your fruit trees it also the amount of water and sunlight the tree receives that effects it also. You also have your little lady pollinaters working for you. It is nice to see your lady occassionally as well.

    I love your tree updates and it'd be awesome to see how you upkeep & prune them

    Super interesting. In my area of Wisconsin, apple and pear trees are having an awesome year. Actually, gardens and crops in general have had a great year in Wisconsin. We were blessed with the perfect combination of sun and rain. 🙂

    I'm glad to hear about your apples - we had absolutely zero this year, and yet we had blossoms... I bet you're right about the temp.

    Loved the video. And it is awesome how your bull calf is in a fair.

    The "My Buddy Alfred!" song just makes me happy.
