Noooooooo!!!!! Don’t break them apart!!!! Frank can still be a good guard goose with Bean as his side kick! Don’t separate them. I have a Sebastopol goose (female) and partner is Duke ( a pekin duck- male) They are INSEPARABLE and she is the best Goose Guard.
In the past, Morgan mentioned that the ducks are good at going through cow turds, I don’t see why he can’t include some ducks in the cow following flock
If you have any friends with herding dogs, it might be beneficial for you to go out and see how their dogs work. Abby has a herding drive which could really help you with a bigger herd and other animals down the road. I think seeing how they train their dogs to only herd on command could help you with training Abby to be more patient so she can work with the birds and cattle better.
@@saraschneider6781 Yeah, I think he had a mixed group of geese and ducks. (parks and rec?) and they stayed together until mating season and got back together after mating season.
Abby has a really strong herding instinct... Training her to be calm right now is very important. If she doesn't know what tranquilo means, it means nothing. A good practice would be to get her excited by playing, or feeding her or something similar, then asking her to be calm and waiting for her to really calm down and lie down or sit down and focus on you before releasing. The expected behavior needs to be consistent and specific. Perhaps "leave it" as well to get her to specifically stop chasing/overly focusing on something.
If you haven't maybe consider putting up some bat boxes in safe locations on your farm, they eat a ton of flies and mosquitoes Bird houses are nice too The only thing you need to worry about with bats is to make sure you keep your animals up to date on their rabies vaccinations. It's smart to do it just in case
Don't have bat anything like nesting near the house because bed bugs. Bedbugs started on bats. We had bedbugs in our apartment, at first I thought that it was mosquitoes, but after killing a couple, we had to get it sprayed in our bedroom. Trust me, they are a nightmare to get rid of and it's hard to sleep with them biting even in the carpet.
All young chickens have spur buds whereas the roosters turn to full blown sprus as they mature. Hens can have full spurs also...natively but it happens. I had a hen whos spur buds grew into hugh spurs when she was about 5 years old...it was crazy...and she was a hen laying eggs all her life. You also can feel the pelvic bone inlets.. males tend to have a more narrow space and hens well it will be slightly wider for egg laying . Its crazy.
Looks to me like Frank is going to be a great guard goose. You walk into their pen and all the chicks go to the far wall. Frank is out front between you and them 'yelling' at you. 😊
Just a quick tip: For gathering your reluctant cats and getting them in a cat carrier, take a towel and roll them in it. Then place them in the cat carrier. They won't be able to fight and scratch or hurt themselves and as soon as they're in the carrier they'll crawl out of the towel and the towel inside can also soak up some urine if they have to go along the trip.
Morgan, Frank and Bean have the best human parents possible: Allison and you. It's always great to see Allison in your videos that you post on your YT channel. Ariel really seems to enjoy your brushing her. Thanx!
Curious - is it too soon to see any changes in the grass from rotational grazing? Also, any consideration to increasing the number of chickens following the cattle so they can do a more thorough job in getting all the fly larva?
I believe he talked about that briefly a few videos back. But I don't think there has been a dedicated video about. And from what I remeber the pasture was looking better than before.
The baby chickens that Frank and Bean just got put in with are - I think - supposed to be added to the cattle following flock. Frank is to be their guard goose.
About Abby, i think her herding instinct is quite strong. She chased that duckling (through fence) because it was lagging behind alone. Seems to me her way of guarding is more of trying to herd the poultries back together. She also doesn't realise her size. So when she runs after a scraggler duck, too enthusiastically, she scares them even further. It doesn't show with the cattle, because the cattle doesn't spook like birds.
Not saying Abby shouldn't work on her bird skills, but I really think her niche is cattle. I look forward to how she works with new animals like pigs and goats.
We lost a hermitcrafter Tinfoilchef Saturday and just found out today your video with the gyroscope chicken head helped lessen the pain. Thank you for all your wonderful videos and the smiles you spread.
It's like Toby sending off Abby to do her chores. Supervisor Toby: Just checking on everything before I head back to my duties. And don't forget to follow directions and you will be rewarded. Employee Abby: Yes sir, I'll be helping Mr. farmer out with cows because I know I'm good at that.
I really do enjoy coming along with you whilst youre doing your chores. Telling stories, chewing the fat explaining what your doing next, as you would be doing with a friend joining you for the day☺
Everytime you name a chicken, you could put a band around their leg to signify that they're special. That way, if you ever need a farmsitter, then whoever you pick will be able to pick out the special birds out from the crowd.
Abby stopped chasing the calf right away when you told her no! That's a great sign I think. Maybe she needs some puppy play dates to appease her social and playful nature (I think Toby is too chill for her lol). Anyways, I feel like my comments are always just unsolicited advice, sorry about that! I love your videos (your whole life honestly 😅) and think you take amazing care of your land and animals! Have a great week, mate! 💜
Abbys cattle instincts are good chasing them back into the pester as from what I've seen normal if you get her to be more gentle yes that's good but if she becomes a cattle dog a small nip or two gets them to listen to her
Yeah, that's the bright side of it. But he didn't buy a heeler, he bought a breed that's specifically bred to be good with protection of birds. lol You know, not a herder but a guardian. Oh Abby, you silly sausage.
@@jenat82 That's working with animals for you, their individual personality is just as important as their breed when it comes to what they are good or bad at. Not every maremma is good for guarding and not every collie is good for herding.
@@prcervi Sure, as she doesn't seem to have major traits of a maremma. We all love her and she has her place. It is a shame though cos she will not be as good a herder as an actual herder bred for it. Not that he needs that with such little cattle. The main goal was protection from pressures. We've not been told if she has expressed any protective traits. LSG has to have protective and independent traits. Herding dogs are the complete opposite. They follow your every command, your extended hand. I grew up with a great pyrenees. If they see a threat to their family (flock) you won't be able to call them back to your side, at least not easily. They will come to you when they feel the threat is over. People put big fighter dogs in their homes "to protect them".. what a joke. Livestock Guardians all the way is protecting dogs.
Those grounding rod stubs sticking up above the ground scare me. One fall on any of them could prove deadly. Maybe cap them off with those padded rubber mushroom caps they use on rebar for construction sites.
Oh and with Abby dog, try a pet trainer collar off Amazon they're like $30 and you get a shock collar, vibrate and beep. My husky listens and we only beep her.
i love the new animals this year. the runner ducks are much less scared and it's fun to see them share a space with the chicken. Frank & Bean are adorable and so are all the ducklings in the separate tractor with Ron Swanson. can't wait to see them all free range and mix. and to see how Frank turns out to be as a guardian goose.
Milk weed tastes awful and might even cause stomach pains when consumed. The plants might get tramped down by the cows but those eggs and caterpillars will make it. They are such amazing bugs!
We've had two different batches of runner ducks with a year apart, both times from little days old ducklings and raised them in our house and handled them much as possible growing up but they still get skittish 🙄 especially if we either have visitors or if we need to catch them for various reasons,it seems to be in there nature but we still love them and they do approach us on their terms lol ♥️🦆🐓
I always find it fascinating to watch the geese, ducks, cats just hang out together with Toby calming watching them all. Dogs wish to please. While Abby might take more time to farm-train, she is smart, affectionate and has a good future ahead.
Abby could turn into a potential cattle dog! You might be able to teach her to simply "fetch" the cows vs chase. We have border collies and when we herd we do teach them to fetch the cattle or bring back an escapee to the herd. Maybe try and optimize Abby's natural instincts and turn them into a good tool for you and a rewarding job for Abby? :)
Why not battery chargers for the fence? (My father used batteries as our fences were as far as your upper fields. ) And what happens with an electricity outage due to storms?
Just watching Abby and Toby, it looks like you have a great mix there to help protect all your animals. While we all know Toby is your bird dog, Abby is clearly showing more affinity for working with cattle. That makes a well rounded team! Have you considered adding a couple of dairy cows along with your beef production?
Frankie has so much to say. Like one of those kids that talks a mile a minute to tell you all about everything they did today and what everybody said, and what everybody else did and how the teacher got mad at that kid and somebody got hurt at recess and lunch was really good today!
You may want to Cover your Outlet so weather can't get to it. You can use the old Energizer at the Barn for Electric Fence this winter. Just a thought. Frank and Bean are so cute. With Wife handling them they're going to be so tame and gentle. Will make for nice birds. Frank will be a good guard goose. Getting ready for winter is upon you for sure. Might want to think about selling or fixing you Bull Calves so when your Breeding Bull gets here there's no problems. Again just a thought. Peace from WV
Your ASMR outros are great! No commentary, just farm ambience. Please make them longer, as us viewers who like it will keep watching, and the others will just disconnect…. Win-Win!!
Reminds me when I was four and my father Rocco used to take me down to Frankford and Linden to feed the sheep and the ducks with popcorn, good memories. Thank you sir, thumbs up on your video.
For most chickens, cockerels tend to develop pink or red combs and wattles around age of 4-6 weeks, hens usually have these yellow to orange. Cockerels also tend to have longer and thicker legs. At some point you'll just be taking quick glance at your chicks and you'll >know
There a great Mix of birds!!! Just train who needs to be trained, and the rest know there jobs. We will never understand it, but they do. Hey Allison..💙🤙
Gratz on Frank & Bean graduating to the flock! I also love bird lessons! I always seem to learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! Thanks!
I’m frankly really happy that you are using Spanish in Abby’s training the more you use it the better you’ll become. Your Spanish sound pretty good keep at it 🤩
Abby has a natural herding instinct. She likes to get the calves back with the herd. Other herding dogs run the animals, so let her run them or slow her a little bit. She is really good!
Thank you for another great video! I strongly believe, that one day, one duck will say to another, "Do a favour, stop walking in my food" Your ducks evolve :)
I noticed with my geese that they grow much bigger in an incubator! I had two imprinted goslings inside and two goslings out with the parents. Same age, hatched at the same time, same parents (I only had two at the time). They were even fed the same (though I'm sure the parents had their goslings grazing more than eating crumbles) The two inside grew sooo much faster. Even feathering out way before the others.
Super cool seeing how abby response to tranquilo compared to other commands. Super cool seeing abby more even tho she's been getting the crazy drama & training comments for a while. I love the cow brushing!!!!!
I’m kinda thinking I might get some flak for this, but why don’t you invest in a shock collar for Abby. On some occasions it looks like she really doesn’t want to stop chasing the birds when you’re saying no. That look she gives you, when she stops, is…I’m gonna get another one, you just wait. The shock collar would be a good reminder. No one says you have to shock the crap out of her…just a slight nudge to stop/listen.
I think the star of this video is that goose who keeps screaming while Morgan is talking. He prolly doesn't hear it because he's so used to it but its very funny.
Abbey is a herder . She wants to herd, she is a natural. I no that’s not what you want but the fact is that is what you have. I have one that herds cattle and breaks up turkey fights during breeding season which is year round. Mine is such a big help and causes no harm. I think you have to embrace and develop Abbey’s strengths.
Frank and Bean are so 🥰 Cute 🥰! Oh! Not the Ducks 🦆 but with the Chicks 🐥! Ginnie Tour! Ginnie travals many miles! Frankie seems to like the move! You’re having Fun! Picking Roosters 🐔 out! Oh! The Cattle! Looks happy 😊! The Calves are getting Big! Thank-you! Great Video!
You said Abby likes to chase the cattle when they get out..... Isn't it that what herding is? The dog gives Chase to bring it back. Seems like Abby knows when they're not within their fenced area
You need a longer grounding rod not more. they need to go in the ground deeper. in many cases 8-16ft deep some cases usaly in dry climets about 20-30ft deep. then always dump a gallon of water at the base of the grounding rod every day as to allow it to soak deep underground and give better continuity with the soil.
You may want to research "AFCI" (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) breakers, installed into a properly grounded sub-panel, and 'hard wiring' the pump and fence charger into the AFCI panel, with heavy duty industrial grade switches, and off/on indicator lights installed into the circuits for controlling their operation - versus the "plugged-in" and "unplugged" method in use now. I would also look through the Grainger, or McMaster-Carr catalogs, to see if they have a voltage monitoring system to clue you in with an audio alarm, or pager activation in the event that something preadatory tries to come in, or one of your members of your cattle family decides to venture beyond the boundaries imposed by the electric fencing.
Noooooooo!!!!! Don’t break them apart!!!! Frank can still be a good guard goose with Bean as his side kick! Don’t separate them. I have a Sebastopol goose (female) and partner is Duke ( a pekin duck- male) They are INSEPARABLE and she is the best Goose Guard.
Liked so Morgan can see this!!
That's good, most folks had bad luck not separating them
In the past, Morgan mentioned that the ducks are good at going through cow turds, I don’t see why he can’t include some ducks in the cow following flock
Break them all apart!
If you have any friends with herding dogs, it might be beneficial for you to go out and see how their dogs work.

I think seeing how they train their dogs to only herd on command could help you with training Abby to be more patient so she can work with the birds and cattle better.
Yes, I've noticed in several videos that she tends to herd the baby cows back inside the wire fence.
Great advice. Plus, that would be an awesome video to watch. You landed a double win!
She's not a herder. there are dogs specifically bred, and trained for that. Her drive to chase is not the same as herding.
@Last Chance Exactly.
@@jamesking1033 have you never heard “that’ll do, pig” before?
Being able to finally brush one of your cattle is a major breakthrough in their socialization. Good Job!
Frankie is so adorable.
Tries to run, trips on the water bowl and bit the dust the poor baby 🤣
Frankie and Bean were destined to be best friends for life
I hope Morgan never gets rid of them.
I feel like they would make a good children's book. After Toby's is published of course.
@@wayIess absolutely
@@saraschneider6781 Yeah, I think he had a mixed group of geese and ducks. (parks and rec?) and they stayed together until mating season and got back together after mating season.
Frank and Bean: BEST FRIENDS shirt=YES 👕
Yes!!
For the win!!
Total for the win..I’d buy that shirt! But they have to be together!
Ya know I'd love to hear more about what goes into training a guard goose
Frankie looks like he's yelling at you everytime you enter the area with him and the chickens.
hes already let his new job get to his head! "DAD dont you know im a guard goose now!! Go away from my chickens!!"
That's exactly what geese are supposed to do when they guard chickens, which is amazing that Frankie knows his/her job already!! 🥰
Exactly what I thought, but I have had geese so I think that Frankie is asserting authority in a clear yet commanding manner.
Abby has a really strong herding instinct... Training her to be calm right now is very important. If she doesn't know what tranquilo means, it means nothing. A good practice would be to get her excited by playing, or feeding her or something similar, then asking her to be calm and waiting for her to really calm down and lie down or sit down and focus on you before releasing.

He knows what t r a n q u i l o means
@@barbaradeitz1853 Morgan does, but it seems Abby still needs to learn it better, which is what they said
You standing and holding a baby bird in each hand while wearing bib overalls is an image worth framing.
Yes! I was mesmerized watching each of their heads bobbing around. Good times!
Ginny is so much fun to watch. When she scratched I got a little taken aback. LOL
The cat cam is my favourite!
If you haven't maybe consider putting up some bat boxes in safe locations on your farm, they eat a ton of flies and mosquitoes
Bird houses are nice too
The only thing you need to worry about with bats is to make sure you keep your animals up to date on their rabies vaccinations. It's smart to do it just in case
I've heard that there's an outburst of bird diseases in the state, so luring wild birds to the farm is not a good thing
Don't have bat anything like nesting near the house because bed bugs. Bedbugs started on bats. We had bedbugs in our apartment, at first I thought that it was mosquitoes, but after killing a couple, we had to get it sprayed in our bedroom. Trust me, they are a nightmare to get rid of and it's hard to sleep with them biting even in the carpet.
Congratulations "Frank and Bean", you've embraced the survival of the fittest label!!!! Love seeing everyone growing and being healthy.
Humans truly became humans when the fittest started helping the weak survive.
Keeping a good goose is crucial. So is socializing them. :)
@@FeedMeSalt you know what, that's one of the smartest comments I've ever gotten, thx. I appreciate your insight.
I love seeing Abby with the cattle! It is truly her element!
All your work with Abby is great. Glad you are putting in the work. She is just getting better and better.
All young chickens have spur buds whereas the roosters turn to full blown sprus as they mature. Hens can have full spurs also...natively but it happens. I had a hen whos spur buds grew into hugh spurs when she was about 5 years old...it was crazy...and she was a hen laying eggs all her life. You also can feel the pelvic bone inlets.. males tend to have a more narrow space and hens well it will be slightly wider for egg laying . Its crazy.
I love how you said " department of family services " lol

Have you considered sending Abby to professional training? I feel like chasing behavior would need to be corrected young for a livestock dog right?
Frankie tripping on the water bowl had me laughing hard! 😂
Curious - is it too soon to see any changes in the grass from rotational grazing? Also, any consideration to increasing the number of chickens following the cattle so they can do a more thorough job in getting all the fly larva?

Seeing that pasture, looks like the tail end of summer to me. Enjoy this warm time, my friend.
Everytime you name a chicken, you could put a band around their leg to signify that they're special. That way, if you ever need a farmsitter, then whoever you pick will be able to pick out the special birds out from the crowd.

I think Frankie will make an excellent guard goose. He/she is not afraid of anything!
Love watching your animal and bird stories. Each species has their own personality and temperament just like the human kind. Thank you for sharing.
love watching very relaxing to me thank you fpr all you and your wife do

I'm not sure Abby will stop seeing every animal as playmates 😊 Abby seems to be a party animal.
Makes me happy to see all the milkweed in your pastures!! Do you keep any sections away from the cows so that they're left alone for Monarchs?
Milk weed tastes awful and might even cause stomach pains when consumed. The plants might get tramped down by the cows but those eggs and caterpillars will make it. They are such amazing bugs!
I love watching you 'talk with your hands' while holding the chickens 🤣
I love how talkative Frankie is
I love that you are just standing with a bird in each hand and gently shaking them in an effort to talk with your hands lol I couldn't stop laughing

Why not battery chargers for the fence? (My father used batteries as our fences were as far as your upper fields. ) And what happens with an electricity outage due to storms?
Next year if you let your bird hatch out eggs. Let them try & hatch 4 to 6 eggs. Do not over crowd the nest with eggs. keep the vids coming

I love that at 17:10 a goose looks directly into the cámara
The cows doing eye rolls while waiting for their food, thinking, this is the life I gotta live with a youtube star.
Gratz on Frank & Bean graduating to the flock! I also love bird lessons! I always seem to learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! Thanks!
Sure have to watch that algae stuff in the water trough! Good to see brushing the cow. Frankie might be a good guard, he was really talking to you!!🤗
Bert & Ernie forever! Great care for your farm. You demonstrate such care.
would it be useful to train Abbie to guide or push a calf/cow back to where you direct? Herding them per say?
This is some good quality Gold Shaw content
I’m frankly really happy that you are using Spanish in Abby’s training the more you use it the better you’ll become. Your Spanish sound pretty good keep at it 🤩
Abby has a natural herding instinct. She likes to get the calves back with the herd. Other herding dogs run the animals, so let her run them or slow her a little bit. She is really good!
I like it that they have specialties. Birds for Toby and Cows for Abby.
Thank you for another great video! I strongly believe, that one day, one duck will say to another, "Do a favour, stop walking in my food" Your ducks evolve :)
I noticed with my geese that they grow much bigger in an incubator!
I had two imprinted goslings inside and two goslings out with the parents. Same age, hatched at the same time, same parents (I only had two at the time). They were even fed the same (though I'm sure the parents had their goslings grazing more than eating crumbles)
The two inside grew sooo much faster. Even feathering out way before the others.
Super cool seeing how abby response to tranquilo compared to other commands. Super cool seeing abby more even tho she's been getting the crazy drama & training comments for a while. I love the cow brushing!!!!!
Ariel letting you brush her was so exciting 🥰🤘🏼
I’m kinda thinking I might get some flak for this, but why don’t you invest in a shock collar for Abby. On some occasions it looks like she really doesn’t want to stop chasing the birds when you’re saying no. That look she gives you, when she stops, is…I’m gonna get another one, you just wait. The shock collar would be a good reminder. No one says you have to shock the crap out of her…just a slight nudge to stop/listen.
I think the star of this video is that goose who keeps screaming while Morgan is talking. He prolly doesn't hear it because he's so used to it but its very funny.
🤣
“Gyroscope Chicken” was some pretty awesome video!
always love the footage of people petting the animals
Abbey is a herder . She wants to herd, she is a natural. I no that’s not what you want but the fact is that is what you have. I have one that herds cattle and breaks up turkey fights during breeding season which is year round. Mine is such a big help and causes no harm. I think you have to embrace and develop Abbey’s strengths.
Frank and Bean are so 🥰 Cute 🥰! Oh! Not the Ducks 🦆 but with the Chicks 🐥! Ginnie Tour! Ginnie travals many miles! Frankie seems to like the move! You’re having Fun! Picking Roosters 🐔 out! Oh! The Cattle! Looks happy 😊! The Calves are getting Big! Thank-you! Great Video!
They are both so adorable!
Very informative! I love Frank & Bean! Love from Alabama! 💕🇺🇸
Great time with you. Have a nice day!
Am I the only one who read the thumbnail ''Frank and Bean'' in Jim & Pam's voice? Great stuff!
Greetings from California
I live in a very urban area.
Watching & learning the story of farm.
Relatively new subscriber.
I'm hooked..
Salutations 🤗
I love love watching your channel! I'm not a farmer but you and your lovely wife put out great content!!! Thank you💚
You said Abby likes to chase the cattle when they get out..... Isn't it that what herding is? The dog gives Chase to bring it back. Seems like Abby knows when they're not within their fenced area
I see another children's book coming. the adventures of Frankie and Beans.
You need a longer grounding rod not more. they need to go in the ground deeper. in many cases 8-16ft deep some cases usaly in dry climets about 20-30ft deep. then always dump a gallon of water at the base of the grounding rod every day as to allow it to soak deep underground and give better continuity with the soil.
Abby's like "these calfs are fast af boi" 🤣
Great video as always Morgan, but... 17:19 HUNGIDA DUNGIDA has never left my mind! Thanks for the laugh! 🤣😂🤣
You may want to research "AFCI" (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) breakers, installed into a properly grounded sub-panel, and 'hard wiring' the pump and fence charger into the AFCI panel, with heavy duty industrial grade switches, and off/on indicator lights installed into the circuits for controlling their operation - versus the "plugged-in" and "unplugged" method in use now. I would also look through the Grainger, or McMaster-Carr catalogs, to see if they have a voltage monitoring system to clue you in with an audio alarm, or pager activation in the event that something preadatory tries to come in, or one of your members of your cattle family decides to venture beyond the boundaries imposed by the electric fencing.
I wonder if Abbie is pure Maremma with the herding instincts she is displaying. Also, I would highly recommend teaching her a Leave it command
He's been trying, she somewhat seems to listen.
Loved this video. It’s great to see the progress of all the animals on the farm. Keep it up and good luck with the new charged fence!
The name of the game here is...MORE POWER⚡⚡💥👀....Thanks Morgan 👍
