I saw this before watching and it made me worried about ginny being inside the house instead of outside I’m glad they’re okay 😄 and yeah ginny is so cute. She’s a social butterfly 😍
The cat on cow episode reminded me of when my old cat decided to hunt a moose. We watched her stalk the moose and thought she'd give up, but she wasn't that smart. Instead, she jumped on its back and dug in her teeth and claws. The moose took off into the woods with the cat still hanging on. The cat came back the next day, casually strolling in as if nothing special had happened.
You sound happier, not that you don't in the previous videos, but your capacity for happiness has increased with this new season of your life, and it is wonderful to hear it in your voice!!! I've only known of your videos for less than a month and have been obsessively going through every one that I can, because they make me feel happy. They get me to exercise more, as I watch them as I ride my exercise bike.
I think this is the kind of video you look back in 20 years and remember the good ol' days when everyone was young and energetic. In 20 years there would be new cats, maybe some grandpuppers of Toby, and all the chestnuts would be mature. It's a long way away but it sounds quite lovely.
This is awesome!! I can already tell how much extra time and energy this change has given you, and I’m loving the resulting videos. It’s nice to see some longer form stuff! I’m the kind of person who is happy to watch hour-long videos if it’s got a subject long enough. Feel free to take more time to take a break, and don’t get caught up in needing to make every single second about maximizing productivity. When you make your own work schedule, that’s an easy trap to fall into. Wishing you the best in your new adventures, and looking forward to sharing in that journey!!
As a nurse, I can’t thank you enough for taking so much time to make these videos. Your content has become a part of my way to relax before going into work the last couple of years. I gotta know, what’s the favourite board game at the farm?? I’ve been curious for awhile now haha
I have to give credit where credit is due. You are one smooth talker, good copy. As a fellow introvert who forced himself to learn how to talk to people I can appreciate hard work
Playing a board game with your wife by the fire at dinner time - with the cat on the rug by the stove. Fella, what a life. A forever moment to treasure. Thanks for sharing.
As I sit here in upstate New York crocheting granny Square flowers, I'm blessed by the tempo and quality of a day on your farm. Technology is so amazing. I love hearing the purr of the cats, the noise of the ducks, geese, and chickens and watching the happy dog. God bless on this cold winters day....I caught a glimpse of a robin this morning. All is well.
I've been following for over 2 years now and have to be honest and say that it was Toby dog that caught (and HELD) my attention. I'm from a long line of farmers and it's nice to someone who loves the ups and downs of farm life. I'm unable to live the life but can definitely enjoy experience it through watching your videos daily. It would be nice to see a horse (or two) but I know that you have plenty to deal with. You're blessed to have friends like you have. If you're planning on growing then does that mean a farmhand in the future? God bless you and Allison. Please give Toby dog a big hug for me. He is just so handsome (I started to write beautiful)! lol...
@@fakshen1973 I agree. But in my heart (and attitude) I will always be a country girl. And I'm grateful that my "country" knowledge is useful even today.
Unfortunately my family sold our farm before I was born I'd have loved to have tried the farm life but to be fair farm land sells for a lot in England especially with houses on
Just watched this video a year after your comment and I want to say, I definitely heard that as well, plus add the look on her face, from first bite until he said he is going to keep working on it, her face was so turned up 😅. That says it all, she couldn’t even fake like it was good 😂🤣😂.
Hello from a NH neighbor! So glad to see a new Englander at this. So many other channels are southern/west and we have different challenges here. I also have a great pyrenees (mix) named Tobey! He's the best farm dog. Molly Barn Cat♡
Interesting to see how well Ginny gets along with the cattle, they didn't really mind her sitting on top of them I think. For Ginny that must have been a cozy place on such a cold day 😃
Our stable cats used to sleep on top of the horses during the coldest winter nights, and I'm sure Ginny is attempting the same. Probably won't be long until the cows get used to the idea as well ^^ Glad to see you look and sound so happy, full time farm life looks good on you!
That was one of the coolest "day in the Life" that I have seen. Not to say that the previous ones weren't any good. They're all good. Just that this was one of the great ones so far. Just love your productions for a storyteller.
Morgan, the quality of your films now is amazing. You can see how much more effort you put into making an actual story. Even that ending is film worthy.
Nice to see that Molly is no longer terrified of Toby. Ginny is so gregarious, after awhile, the cattle won't even mind being used as her personal buses. Thanks for the Frank Zappa, Morgan.
I've got to give you credit Morgan, you put the pillow tag on the inside of the pillowcase. A+ bed making there. Now let's see how you do with hospital corners.👍
POV: I would so be talking to the animals as I walked around and visited them. You are so good to them; keeping the water thawed and fresh is a full time job.
Tip: you can use old brush heads to make a cow scratcher. I bought a cheap shipment that was defaulted (strands too uneven or something, dont remember) and tied around a tree. Critter loved it.
I have suggestion about the meat pies: Did you season them? Unsure if you did not or just didn’t show it. Make sure you add salt/pepper to meat and then veggies. Also garlic powder, thyme and cumin. (A thin shaking of garlic and a few pinches of the thyme, maybe just a pinch of cumin. Cumin goes a long way.) The gluten-free pastry seems thin. Double it up so it’s thicker and cut in thirds. Then, add the meat and fold over like individual turnovers (so there’s more pastry per bite). You only need to pinch (w/fork) the open edges, not the folded part. Poke w/fork on top to allow steam to escape but just tiny pokes. So great that you’re trying to make a fav dish for your wife. Looks like you’re living a nice life which is awesome!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for making it and sharing it with us. I’m glad you don’t have to worry about a separate day job any more. This couldn’t have happened without bold planning, extremely hard work, perseverance, and dedication to making your dream life real. Respect! Sheets, like clothing, come with a stiffening agent (sizing) to help them lie flat and probably also some kind of preservative and/or anti-bug additive. That is why you always wash new ones before the first use. I didn’t learn about the warm wondefulness of cotton flannel sheets in cold weather until I moved to New England. I totally agree with what you say about what a huge difference they make in keeping cozy. I think more people know about flannel sheets now than then. Note to first time flannel sheet users: a lot of fluffy lint will come off onto the filter the first time they go through the dryer. That’s normal, not a concern.
I use a flannel top sheet, but I like a regular bottom sheet. Yes, flannel makes it much easier to go to bed in the winter. I also use a microwave heated hot pack in my bed, first where the back goes, then lower down, yum. I turn easier with the plain sheet on the bottom. Get good ones if you get flannel sheets. I have some that are old, like 20 + years. Heavy weight, made in Portugal. Sleep well..... :-)
Oh my, the shearing pin breaking just brought back childhood memories. We have a craftsman snowblower and it worked great until the shear pin broke. Always at the end of the driveway. My dad always had spare shear pins on hand. Funny as an adult, it has never happened. Probably shouldn’t have said that. 😂 We do not own a craftsman.
Everyone is so happy now that you're a full time farmer. Toby, the barn cats, all of the birds, the cattle, Allison, and us (the viewers). Would love top pick your brain on being a novice farmer as I'm coming into inheritance of a smaller "hobby" farm.
Ginny is hilarious! I loved seeing her rodeo and it's so cool how they come to you when you call them in at night. Great spending the "day" with you all
You need a new segment - “Coffee Time With Alfred”. What was the final score for the meat pie? I love watching the Great British Baking Show. Good night, Morgan, Allison, and the whole Gold Shaw Farm family. Thank you for another great episode.
OR they should do a podcast. That would be pretty cool, they're both pretty smart men so it would be cool just to hear them talk about different topics.
It’s Night time and 18°. That’s nothing compared to -12 I can’t imagine that. We have a windchill of 3° right now and I’m so thankful that our power is still working over here in Texas unlike last year around this time. I feel like I can’t complain when Y’all have -12°
You have such a peaceful life. I realize that what we see isn't your whole life, however, you can generally tell when someone is living the life they want. It shows in your videos. It takes alot of work getting to where you want to be and it seems your hard work, effort, and I'm sure some sacrifices, is paying off. Thank you for sharing your little slice of peace.
Ooh! Squeaky snow! Proof it's cold! 😁 Also--about warm compost--when I worked at a stable, during the summer, you could see smoke rising from the muck pile (we used wood shavings) and several times there were small flames! (It was close to 95-100 degrees...) Interesting how that works.
Couple tips: chicken stock is more than just bones. Celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and LOTS of bones. Some wine If you have it. It's supposed to be concentrated flavor, not just chicken water. I used to pick out the bones, onions and garlic, and add the rest to my dog's food, after I strained the solids. #2 when you are cooking something, taste it as you go. That way if you need to add more seasonings, you're going to have plenty of time to make sure it tastes like it's supposed to. Taste that cooked filling before you put it in pastry. Also, you can add a little salt and pepper, and other aeasonings to your pastry after you put the egg wash on it.
Yay, It’s not just me that uses jars (or anything suitable) as a “glass”. (AKA - a liquid receptacle) In the morning, I love having my coffee in a small deep bowl. I’ve been doing this for years and I’ve been shamed for it on occasion. That’s was until people became aware that people in Europe have been using bowls for......EVER (and ever). P.s I’m VERY envious of your Brooklinen sheets. I’ve always wanted real, natural linen sheets, but I have never been able to afford them. I’ve since checked out the Brooklinen website and I continue to check it out and droool over the beautiful images of cosy interiors with cosy linen sheets and doona covers. So....yes....very very envious. If I had a RUclips channel and eventually was contacted to do a sponsorship for a Linen sheet company....ha ha I think that I’d feel that I’d really reached the pinnacle and could comfortably retire and snuggle up in my warm luxe bedding ha ha Me, shallow? No, not at all. It’s cold outside as I type this, and it’s all about the snuggle factor for this single gal.
I LOVE A DAY IN THE LIFE VIDEOS. THANK YOU MORGAN. Those are some good sheets. I just bought a set of really really nice cotton sheets.. The egg dish there is not relatively healthy, it is very healthy. Eggs including yolks have had a lot of crap thrown at them and many new studies find eggs really good for u.
It's really nice you sometimes show temperatures in Celcius as well. I'm Polish and it's really hard for me to learn and "feel" Fehrenheit scale, despite living in the city where Daniel Fehrenheit was born ;) (city of Gdańsk/Danzig in northern Poland)
I had to chuckle at my own mind’s travel! You were letting the chickens out, holding their door open with a stick. Nobody came out. As I was looking at the opening, I half way expected to see a chicken come out, giving the stick a swift kick and running back inside real quick! I’ve got a cartoon mind! 🥴
He propped openthe silkiecoopwoth a stick. Nd was surprised to see Bernie, Penelope, and a rooster out (near their coop) later. I gather that they came out when the sun was up to look for food and wayer and get sone ftrsh air and weak sun.
I never use new sheets or wear new clothes without washing them first. Each to their own, but they aren't "mine" until I wash them in my washer and dryer.
I'm really glad to see that y'all are doing well, covid took out a lot of relationships these past years I'm glad y'all are strong. Y'all seem like y'all are good for each other, best of wishes to y'all's the future 😄
Hi Morgan, I'm in sunny central Florida so it's interesting watching how you manage farming in your climate. Toby is an awesome LGD and he clearly loves his life. I'm looking forward to the new puppy arriving. Stay warm. 🙂
I'm so happy that you have more time for the farm to relax and get other things done you've been wanting to do I'm sure its made things less stressful for you giving you a better quality of life
I have a tip for bed sheets: turn the sheets wrong-side up. Put your hands in the opening, and grab two corresponding corners of the pillow/blanket. Then with a hand movement, flip the sheet over the pillow/blanket. I takes some practice
I love watching Ginnys cute little feet pattering along! And that purr of hers! 😍 I'm glad the barn cats have the option of coming in on these sub-zero nights too..All the animals and birds on your farm seem so contented! That reflects so well on you as a farmer & a person..I love your videos and always look forward to the next one! 🙂🙂🙂
Your nordic sweater reminds me of the 28 I knit one Christmas for my family members. Same colours and design. Loved watching the cat ride your highland cow. So darn cute.
With your allergies you may want to look into getting a mattress and pillowcase cover. I know for us they made a huge difference in our breathing at night.🥰
Just wanted to say... I love your videos! Glad I found you guys. The funny names you give all your pets and farm animals show how much you love them. I think it's wonderful that you have been able to quit your office job and do something you enjoy. I also commend you on being pretty transparent about your weaknesses and facing them head on and trying to always improve. I live in central MS and love seeing your beautiful state and all it has to offer. So interesting. We all can't and shouldn't try to be like anyone else. What a boring world this would be. I enjoy how you seem to face problems... listen and learn from others. And then come to your own conclusions! Continue to help Allison with those house chores and cooking and she will keep giving you those smiles! We like a man that SHOWS his love and doesn't just say IT!!!
What a great day on the farm with the farmer and wife! So interesting to see how you take care of the farm on such COLD days. Congrats on going full-time! Keep filming and sharing your days with us, THANK YOU! :D
Just got home yesterday from the hospital and still laying low recovering from surgery. Yesterday I found your channel and subscribed. I’ve been binge watching since. I seriously love your channel.
I love love love your videos! I grew up on a farm. We had cows, chickens, ducks, and horses. Your videos bring back memories and help me reflect and calm down for the day.
been totally addicted to this channel from when you had that mink attack before you got toby. such great wholesome content. its been such a pleasure watching your channel grow, keep up the great work!
I love that you take the time to spend with Allison and do nice things for her and remember things that are important for her and go the extra mile of remembering what she likes to eat and playing board games and watching television together n cuddle a little bit so sweet and letting the cats in n taking good care of the dogs and making sure all the geese are in such a great guy!
Morgan, you are just the nicest and authentic person. Love all your animals. You’ll do great with this new adventure. Your videos are always worth watching.
we’ve been waiting for this one! great job! also, one question i’ve been dying to ask; how can you tell a fertile egg from an eating egg? or an egg that has no chance at producing life?? also, i’ve watched 200+ of your videos in the last week (binged them, came from the short clips on facebook), and i’m SO scared i’m going to run out of videos soon!😭 keep you the great work, definitely the most entertaining videos i’ve ever came across!! and you’ve completely convinced me to be a farmer one day. i never thought about it, but after watching your videos i definitely would love to live on a farm of my own soon. thank you for helping me pick the direction i truly want my life to go in!!🥰 also, i know it’s not just me we LOVE having allison in the videos, she’s so zen and comforting even over the phone 🥺 y’all have done so good developing what y’all have going, definitely my life goals!!
Yes you can candle eggs after about a week of incubation, then you will see some veins. Or you can brake the egg and check for a small white spot in the yolk showing that it was fertile. But other then that you can’t tell, you make your decision about what you want to do with the egg. Fertile eggs are perfectly safe to eat.
Greetings from Salt Rock, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. I love the snow. An amazing "day in the life" you are blessed. We have a hurricane off the coast, not a direct hit but close enough of weather warning. Rain only. Have a great weekend. Best wishes. Karen
This is a wonderful video because you are sharing so much of your personal life and even your home. Loved when you and Allison were so relaxed, watching videos together,,,,, and I love seeing you less stressed.
Go ‘head Morgan! You’ve re-inspired me!! I noticed the leaner you when I was catching up on Shaw Farm vids two days ago. Since then, I started back my morning workout routine AND I went on a little hike today. Thanks Morgan!!
Sometimes I think about doing what you do, but then I remember all of the hard, heavy work you and your wife do and I change my mind 😅. I just really enjoy watching your farm's story. I can't wait for your book still ❤
My chickens use to fly up into the trees as part of their natural instinct. It was safe for them as a raccoon or whatever couldn't get them. And yet, the temps here usually don't get below mid 20s at night. They still went up into the trees at night for safety.
In cities, roaming cats often seek out broken basement windows and take shelter in the basements. If your basement has a little, openable window, then leaving that open will allow the cats to voluntarily come into and leave the basement. It's additionally beneficial due to how cats don't have such day-night cycles as us and love hunting in the night.
Re: the linens. I suggest that in you invest in a bedpad to protect the mattress. Also, as an RN, I learned an easier way to put a pillowcase on a pillow, for sure. You can probably find a RUclips video or ask Allison. The linens do look wonderful.
if you have power out around by the bird greenhouse, you can see if you can add a heat lamp or two that you can switch on when it is in the negatives just to be safe. ♥ They don't have to be on all the time either, leaving them on for a couple hours and that heat will linger for quite a bit I imagine. (Note: I am not a farmer.)
Parcheesi! Best game on the planet! I and my 3 cousins spent hundreds or thousands of hours playing this game when all else failed, and it never ceased to keep us entertained. I am green. I was always green and will always be green--and green will be Victorious! 😃😃😃😃
It's crazy how immediately friendly Ginny is with Lil. You got a really nice cat there.
@@maricellagarcia4408 Molly (the one who stayed outside) is Ginnys mom, not Lil. Lil was one of the two OG kitties, Lil and Pablo.

I’m glad they’re okay 😄 and yeah ginny is so cute. She’s a social butterfly 😍
Ginny hanging out on the cows! So cute!
I've had been waiting to see..... literally on top of the cows..yasssss finally
i was wondering if they'd ever get to that point :)
The cat on cow episode reminded me of when my old cat decided to hunt a moose. We watched her stalk the moose and thought she'd give up, but she wasn't that smart. Instead, she jumped on its back and dug in her teeth and claws. The moose took off into the woods with the cat still hanging on. The cat came back the next day, casually strolling in as if nothing special had happened.

Reminds me of this post I saw the other day that said, "Cats act as if God left them in charge."
What a brave cat, I wish I could’ve seen that. LOL
Wth 😂😂

I think Pablo is almost ready to be an indoor cat, he seems to be the first one in and last one out lol
His old age is getting to him
Yes , I think it’s his age also

Same here as a social worker. If a camera on the farm were going 24/7 I would probably keep it going. 🤪
Stop complaining Olivia

You should wash the sheets before putting them on the bed. It removes the stuff they use to keep bugs and mold away. Also makes the sheets softer.

Ooh! Squeaky snow! Proof it's cold! 😁 Also--about warm compost--when I worked at a stable, during the summer, you could see smoke rising from the muck pile (we used wood shavings) and several times there were small flames! (It was close to 95-100 degrees...) Interesting how that works.
Couple tips: chicken stock is more than just bones. Celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and LOTS of bones. Some wine If you have it. It's supposed to be concentrated flavor, not just chicken water. I used to pick out the bones, onions and garlic, and add the rest to my dog's food, after I strained the solids.
#2 when you are cooking something, taste it as you go. That way if you need to add more seasonings, you're going to have plenty of time to make sure it tastes like it's supposed to. Taste that cooked filling before you put it in pastry. Also, you can add a little salt and pepper, and other aeasonings to your pastry after you put the egg wash on it.
Ginny is a Star! I love her purrs and her little feet; she makes me smile. The cattle have settled in well. Great work, Mr and Mrs Shaw! Thanks
Yay,
It’s not just me that uses jars (or anything suitable) as a “glass”.
(AKA - a liquid receptacle)
In the morning, I love having my coffee in a small deep bowl. I’ve been doing this for years and I’ve been shamed for it on occasion.
That’s was until people became aware that people in Europe have been using bowls for......EVER (and ever).
P.s I’m VERY envious of your Brooklinen sheets.
I’ve always wanted real, natural linen sheets, but I have never been able to afford them. I’ve since checked out the Brooklinen website and I continue to check it out and droool over the beautiful images of cosy interiors with cosy linen sheets and doona covers.
So....yes....very very envious.
If I had a RUclips channel and eventually was contacted to do a sponsorship for a Linen sheet company....ha ha I think that I’d feel that I’d really reached the pinnacle and could comfortably retire and snuggle up in my warm luxe bedding ha ha
Me, shallow? No, not at all.
It’s cold outside as I type this, and it’s all about the snuggle factor for this single gal.
Aaaaw, love mom’s painting of the barn!! Sooo cool.
This is currently my fave video from you. Because of how honest it is, how happy you are and the quality of the editing.
These videos can mean a lot. Thanks, Morgan (as well as Alison, Alfred, and your other guests).
I LOVE A DAY IN THE LIFE VIDEOS. THANK YOU MORGAN. Those are some good sheets. I just bought a set of really really nice cotton sheets.. The egg dish there is not relatively healthy, it is very healthy. Eggs including yolks have had a lot of crap thrown at them and many new studies find eggs really good for u.
Ahh the little cat paws are soo cute,and the little meow..I love your channel!! I wish you the best,take care☺
Wow im a new watcher its nice seeing someone that still use a top sheet for the bed.
seeing you work out and noticing the progress, has made me smile! Happy to see you are well!
Toby is probably thinking cold out? I’m warm enough! Of course he’s warm enough! Look at his coat!!! Now that’s a warm coat!!
It's really nice you sometimes show temperatures in Celcius as well. I'm Polish and it's really hard for me to learn and "feel" Fehrenheit scale, despite living in the city where Daniel Fehrenheit was born ;) (city of Gdańsk/Danzig in northern Poland)
Really happy for you man, glad I could be a part of your farm. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I had to chuckle at my own mind’s travel! You were letting the chickens out, holding their door open with a stick. Nobody came out. As I was looking at the opening, I half way expected to see a chicken come out, giving the stick a swift kick and running back inside real quick! I’ve got a cartoon mind! 🥴
Me, too, giggle!!!
He propped openthe silkiecoopwoth a stick. Nd was surprised to see Bernie, Penelope, and a rooster out (near their coop) later. I gather that they came out when the sun was up to look for food and wayer and get sone ftrsh air and weak sun.
I never use new sheets or wear new clothes without washing them first. Each to their own, but they aren't "mine" until I wash them in my washer and dryer.
I love it when you put a camera collar on Ginny Barn Cat. The Ginny Cam is a great name for it.
The cattle backs are nice and warm! Holding onto the furry hides works. It is so nice to see how you allow your animal pals blossom.
I'm really glad to see that y'all are doing well, covid took out a lot of relationships these past years I'm glad y'all are strong. Y'all seem like y'all are good for each other, best of wishes to y'all's the future 😄
Hi Morgan, I'm in sunny central Florida so it's interesting watching how you manage farming in your climate. Toby is an awesome LGD and he clearly loves his life. I'm looking forward to the new puppy arriving. Stay warm. 🙂
Ginny is a hoot! I bet , eventually, the cattle will get used to her riding them.
I'm so happy that you have more time for the farm to relax and get other things done you've been wanting to do I'm sure its made things less stressful for you giving you a better quality of life
Good to hear that you're staying safe and warm, love the barn cats.
I have a tip for bed sheets: turn the sheets wrong-side up. Put your hands in the opening, and grab two corresponding corners of the pillow/blanket. Then with a hand movement, flip the sheet over the pillow/blanket. I takes some practice
I love watching Ginnys cute little feet pattering along! And that purr of hers! 😍 I'm glad the barn cats have the option of coming in on these sub-zero nights too..All the animals and birds on your farm seem so contented! That reflects so well on you as a farmer & a person..I love your videos and always look forward to the next one! 🙂🙂🙂
Wow- 30 whole minutes of Goldshaw wonderfulness. What a lovely video- thx so much for sharing ❤
I always ENJOY your videos, but this one was specially enjoyable. Your little Cowgirl was so cute!😙😄
Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Your nordic sweater reminds me of the 28 I knit one Christmas for my family members. Same colours and design. Loved watching the cat ride your highland cow. So darn cute.
With your allergies you may want to look into getting a mattress and pillowcase cover. I know for us they made a huge difference in our breathing at night.🥰
Just wanted to say... I love your videos! Glad I found you guys. The funny names you give all your pets and farm animals show how much you love them.
I think it's wonderful that you have been able to quit your office job and do something you enjoy. I also commend you on being pretty transparent about your weaknesses and facing them head on and trying to always improve.
I live in central MS and love seeing your beautiful state and all it has to offer. So interesting. We all can't and shouldn't try to be like anyone else. What a boring world this would be. I enjoy how you seem to face problems... listen and learn from others. And then come to your own conclusions!
Continue to help Allison with those house chores and cooking and she will keep giving you those smiles! We like a man that SHOWS his love and doesn't just say IT!!!
What a great day on the farm with the farmer and wife! So interesting to see how you take care of the farm on such COLD days. Congrats on going full-time! Keep filming and sharing your days with us, THANK YOU! :D
Just got home yesterday from the hospital and still laying low recovering from surgery. Yesterday I found your channel and subscribed. I’ve been binge watching since. I seriously love your channel.
So you are basicly saying you are a stay at home husband.
Love it!!!
Well technically no, he works from home. I think stay at home kinda implies the person does not work remotely.
@@migueljardim8177 he quit that job. Now he just farms
@@leannemori9688 Yea, but farming and being a content creator is his new job.
I love love love your videos! I grew up on a farm. We had cows, chickens, ducks, and horses. Your videos bring back memories and help me reflect and calm down for the day.
Morgan unpacks sheets and adds them straight to the bed.. ME.. NOOOOO WASH THEM FIRST🤣🤣
Small thing but as someone from the UK I really appreciate how you put the temp in Celsius on the screen
been totally addicted to this channel from when you had that mink attack before you got toby. such great wholesome content. its been such a pleasure watching your channel grow, keep up the great work!
I love that you take the time to spend with Allison and do nice things for her and remember things that are important for her and go the extra mile of remembering what she likes to eat and playing board games and watching television together n cuddle a little bit so sweet and letting the cats in n taking good care of the dogs and making sure all the geese are in such a great guy!
Morgan, you are just the nicest and authentic person. Love all your animals. You’ll do great with this new adventure. Your videos are always worth watching.
Hi Allison, its good to see you from time to time!👋
I'm so happy for you, Morgan! Congrats on your first vid after going full time! Huzzah!
My mother died a second time watching you put UNWASHED new sheets an pillow cases on your bed. Lordy, she is glaring at you from beyond
we’ve been waiting for this one! great job! also, one question i’ve been dying to ask; how can you tell a fertile egg from an eating egg? or an egg that has no chance at producing life?? also, i’ve watched 200+ of your videos in the last week (binged them, came from the short clips on facebook), and i’m SO scared i’m going to run out of videos soon!😭 keep you the great work, definitely the most entertaining videos i’ve ever came across!! and you’ve completely convinced me to be a farmer one day. i never thought about it, but after watching your videos i definitely would love to live on a farm of my own soon. thank you for helping me pick the direction i truly want my life to go in!!🥰 also, i know it’s not just me we LOVE having allison in the videos, she’s so zen and comforting even over the phone 🥺 y’all have done so good developing what y’all have going, definitely my life goals!!
Pretty sure In the dark U can get a torch and put it under the egg and if it's firtle U can see vanes ( I'm not a chicken expert
@@arshayoon8243 yes I think its called Candling, and you just hold it up to a bright light behind it
@@cmel7841 ooo that's what it's called! Thx for telling me what it's called. ☺️
Yes you can candle eggs after about a week of incubation, then you will see some veins. Or you can brake the egg and check for a small white spot in the yolk showing that it was fertile. But other then that you can’t tell, you make your decision about what you want to do with the egg. Fertile eggs are perfectly safe to eat.
Lol I was about to type the same exact thing! 😅
Greetings from Salt Rock, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. I love the snow. An amazing "day in the life" you are blessed. We have a hurricane off the coast, not a direct hit but close enough of weather warning. Rain only. Have a great weekend. Best wishes. Karen
It's been so cold this week. Today was -20 F, with the windchill -35 F. Definitely had me wishing I worked an indoor job!
So great to see you enjoying your life as a farmer, being your own boss- keeping it real!! Thanks so much- this stuff is what life is all about😘
When you love what you do, that's all that matters! I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your life as a farmer. :)
This is a wonderful video because you are sharing so much of your personal life and even your home.
Loved when you and Allison were so relaxed, watching videos together,,,,, and I love seeing you less stressed.
Go ‘head Morgan! You’ve re-inspired me!! I noticed the leaner you when I was catching up on Shaw Farm vids two days ago. Since then, I started back my morning workout routine AND I went on a little hike today. Thanks Morgan!!
Love your mom's art.
Youre not only a good farmer, youre also a great cook!
Sometimes I think about doing what you do, but then I remember all of the hard, heavy work you and your wife do and I change my mind 😅. I just really enjoy watching your farm's story. I can't wait for your book still ❤
My chickens use to fly up into the trees as part of their natural instinct. It was safe for them as a raccoon or whatever couldn't get them. And yet, the temps here usually don't get below mid 20s at night. They still went up into the trees at night for safety.
In cities, roaming cats often seek out broken basement windows and take shelter in the basements. If your basement has a little, openable window, then leaving that open will allow the cats to voluntarily come into and leave the basement. It's additionally beneficial due to how cats don't have such day-night cycles as us and love hunting in the night.
This was an awesome video. A nice slice of life of an unconventional farmer. Plus, any video with Ginny, Pablo and Toby Dog, is a good video.
Re: the linens. I suggest that in you invest in a bedpad to protect the mattress. Also, as an RN, I learned an easier way to put a pillowcase on a pillow, for sure. You can probably find a RUclips video or ask Allison.
The linens do look wonderful.
if you have power out around by the bird greenhouse, you can see if you can add a heat lamp or two that you can switch on when it is in the negatives just to be safe. ♥
They don't have to be on all the time either, leaving them on for a couple hours and that heat will linger for quite a bit I imagine.
(Note: I am not a farmer.)
Thank you so much for mentioning Lenny! I'm glad that he's still out and about!
Flannel duvet covers are the best !!!
Parcheesi! Best game on the planet! I and my 3 cousins spent hundreds or thousands of hours playing this game when all else failed, and it never ceased to keep us entertained. I am green. I was always green and will always be green--and green will be Victorious! 😃😃😃😃
