My Simple Backyard Grazing System (for Geese)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- We have developed a simple backyard grazing system for geese. So even if you don't have a large farm, you can graze geese in your backyard. Also, we need to talk about Eduardo Sousa and ethical foie gras.

About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.
Thank you for being an ethical farmer. I am a vegetarian for these exact reasons. I understand people eat meat, that's not what upsets me, it's how factory farming is conducted that pisses me off. People need to know where their food comes from, this disconnect that is happening is one thing that's wrong with our broken food system. I have mad respect for people who raise their own meat. I personally could never do it, so that's why I dont eat it. I do source local and humanely raised meat for my husband and son, who are not vegetarian but I still choose to not eat it. I understand this is not an option for everyone, finances or availability where they may live, but that's something that we as people need to work on. Making good, clean, ethical food available to everyone. Love your channel Morgan, keep up the great content💚
You have a very nice attitude - instead of trying to force people to follow your idea, you lead by example, very noble.
@K Korona Different strokes...…….?
Thanks, Pinky!
@K Korona *you're. Troll much? Have a great day✌😁
@@Berkeloid0 Thank you so much for your kind words💛
When I had rabbits and chickens I used a maggot feeder to dispose of guts after butchering. I saved heart liver kidney to feed dog and cats but everything else went into 5 gallon bucked with holes for flies to get in and maggots to get out. I hung this bucket in chicken run and when maggots fall to ground chickens get protein.
I do the same maggot bucket. Some family members do dispatching on a large scale and use a chest freezer just for my pail.
And the smell?
Sounds great, but didn’t he have a problem with too many flies around the cattle?
What about attracting predators? Our foxes in the UK would love that and smell it from 8 miles away before it got too wretched...
Doesn't get any better than a hot cup of coffee and Gold Shaw Farm on Monday mornings 👍💕
Thank you!
Your fan-crush on Eduardo is hilarious~! XD Thanks for the pure entertainment!
It's amazing how readily the ducks start heading to their house when you start yelling "all ducks go to bed!" I love watching your videos! I showed these to my girlfriend and she thought you seemed like the most honest and likeable person in the world. I agree with her :D
You can throw your leg up pretty high to get over that fence...I would have face planted inside the enclosure and then gotten mobbed by geese as the fed would have spilled everywhere...I need a gate, lol.
Ha! That's the benefit of regular yoga practice.
Lol
I love it
I noticed your chickens don't have a roost (perch) to sleep on. With chickens at night to regulate their temperatures they sit on there feet on a perch or something, it would be very beneficial for your chickens for them to have a roost or perch.
And easy to build. I'm with Kierstynn. Come on, Mr. Ethical Farmer, make your chickens a perch.
We are watching a very successful channel
Oh my goodness I wouldn't share those tasty livers! They're so good for you. Freeze those puppies and have them all year. I just did my chicken butcher, and I kept all the gizzards and livers. So good over rice and veggies! 😋
Somehow you need to get your tractors and geese to the tree farm. Keep trees clear and fertilized.
The trees just need to be a little bigger and then that will be the plan. Right now the geese would defoliate the trees. But next year will probably be the year.
@@GoldShawFarm Great idea, but the I think the ducks and chickens can't reach the foliage of the trees now. But chickens like to dig out plants. :(
I always look forward to these videos!
I´m amazed you even have geese in your drone shots!
Great video!
Those plants though! They look beautiful! 😍
I was surprised how fast my ducks learned to go to bed
Holy smoke that duckling grew up fast!
So tempting to just run through the fields singing ‘The Sound of Music’ 😂
Geese are loud! I think that is why we can't raise them in our subdivision. But, when the wild geese drop in for a visit, oh my! The sound is wonderful and they love my "not" grass too! (as well as the neighbor's pool) LOL Keep on truckin'. You are doing fine.
Actually, it's keep on duckin'.
@@meteoman7958 lol
Ha!
First video of your's I've seen and I got so excited about your NOLA shirt lol (I'm about an hour north of there)
Great video, can't wait to dive into your other content!
Hey man love your channel I live in the Boston area and i started raising ducks because of your channel! I started with pekin and cayuga you should get some cayuga for your farm!
I love your channel!! My husband and I live in town while we are paying off our student loans, but were are starting to grow our own food and raise rabbits for meat. We love our rabbits!! When our loans are paid off we plan on getting a small farm :)
I say you could get your geese's and tractor to a 🌲 farm , this is a great video with nice little 🏠 for the geese's. Great work ,keep it up
For a minute there you looked like Keyser Sose :)
Happy to see that, Little Guy, is comfortable, lol🖖🤠
Love your editing and memes
vos oies sont tellement amusantes à regarder, votre sens de l'humour est excellent et votre travail de caméra avec les oies est parfait!
I love duck & goose liver. That said, I do not support force feeding geese for foie gras. Goose liver doesn't have to be excessively large for me to want to eat it. It just needs to be raised organically, pastured & humanely such as what you do here. For that I wish to thank you for being such an ethical farmer.
Product should only take up 10-15% of your time & energy which leaves you with 85-90% of time for promotion & marketing. That said, apart from trying to sell the liver to restaurants, try marketing your geese & geese liver to organic grocery stores for Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners. Once you've established yourself as the distributor to even one local organic grocery store, especially if it's in a big city, you'll never have to look for buyers for your wares. Organic ducks, turkeys & geese are triple to four times the price as their commercial counterpart in my city and people are more than willing to pay the price because they know they're pastured & ethically raised. Never underestimate what people are willing to pay. Too, find a recipe and make goose liver pate and sell it to organic grocery store, at your local farmers markets, at the end of your road or on your farm store as a 'specialty' item. You might even consider mixing & selling the organs of your animals (intestines, heart, liver, brain, eyeballs, kidneys, etc) and marketing it as dog, cat, &/or pig food. A weekend food stand at the end of your road might help local people find you to buy your wares. Finally, you might want to take a look at & link your website to Eat Wild, a website that helps people like me find the food you raise. The possibilities to market your delicious wares are endless.
We rotationally graze our geese with our dairy sheep to utilize the most pasture possible.They don't need the choicest bits of forage so it works really well. You could also run your geese behind ruminants if you take the ruminants out sooner.
Order my geese there coming in June looking forward having them
foie d'oie, j'aimerais bien y goûter! Merci pour l'idée !
Great system, you could also run the chickens after the geese have eaten the grass down. So through their scratching and pooping they make the grass grow even higher after each run. Have a look at Richard Perkins from Sweden on RUclips. Thanks for sharing your story from Germany
I never feed our geese, grass only. They are free range on my dad’s 120 acer farm. We use them for soil enrichment on our orchard. I didn’t realize I probably have thousands of dollars worth of Foie gras.
Thanks for the information, can you share about eggs?
Absolutely love this! Thanks for the videos.
I have ducks of my own and I love watching your videos keep the great content up
ty for Blush the band at the end of the song. I found a new band and I'm pumped!
I went on a “lifestyle change” (because the diet word is illegal!) two years ago, stopped birth control two and a half years ago, reduced stress, and this year is the first year I have gotten pregnant three consecutive times! This past pregnancy was three months and they keep getting longer. I’m now trying to get more frequent blood tests and thinking about how to make sure hcg grows correctly without interruption. My periods evened out this year and I really believe I owe it to those ginger teas, pomegranate and grapefruit blends, and general lifestyle change (staying away from high sugar, low fiber foods) and eating based on my blood type and to encourage fertility. Look into it! ❤
For those wondering, the song at the end is "Blush" by Velvet Moon.
0:16 hey some nice "HERBS" hahaha 😏
I saw that too
….. me too ….. lol
The geese eat it, get the munchies, then put on liver fat. They have trouble getting into the fridge, though.....
"Great freezer in the sky" :D
We rotate 18 geese along with 3 sheep on 1.5 acres and it works out great, so i dont think your estimate is that far off. We buy food for the winter. We use regular electric fence wire, the geese will respect 1 line (have done it before) but we have 4 anyways now because of the sheep. A lot cheaper and easier i think than mesh electric netting (and a bit more lifespan, hopefully)
Thanks to you I trained my khaki campbell ducks to go to bed when I tell them to. Thank you! I've never had such well behaved ducks.
It's good my guy I love your work
The way you run your farm is the way all food should be produced. The fact that people are willing to do that to an animal just for a delicacy that is entirely unnecessary...I mean that says something about a person's soul. God forbid people eat a goose liver that isn't excessively fatty...I agree with you. There is nothing unethical about eating meat - provided that the process is ethical. Glad that you are doing it the right way. I'm planning to start a farm operation of some sort, and your channel is an inspiration.
I absolutely LOVE duck liver (and hearts and gizzards-but the liver is choice!)
I bet you can preserve your duck and goose liver as they do for fröi gras (sP?) and sell it as a humane luxury food.
Especially to gourmet restaurants in NY.
Heck-I’d want them!
Muscovy do just fine as grazers. I haven't fed mine in years. They graze 9 acres here, 2 ponds of about 1.25 acre total. Don't even have to feed them through winter. They find enough all Winter long. i guess that would depend on snow cover. We generally only accumulate snow in Jan and Feb. Even then, 50-60% of the days have no snow on the ground.
I forgot my main point : Muscovy Duck, in my opinion, are every bit as "sustainable".
I wonder if the geese like to spend the night with any "friend" geese in the 3 pens, or is it just random which goose ends up with which?
I'm so confused if that gentleman doesn't fence his geese in how does he protect them against preditors. Love, love, love you videos. They are always so entertaining.
I think he’s in Europe and they don’t have as many predators maybe?
Some areas have no natural predators that threaten their livestock. Shepherds in the UK for example let their sheep roam freely because there are no wolves, coyotes or bears. I imagine that man in Spain doesn't have to worry either about his geese for similar reasons.
Your ducks are quiet during roll call. 👏🏽 😊
Love your channel ! I have been wanting to get some geese & your information is very helpful!
Good on ya man I like your style
nice camera shots man. your channel getting better and better.good luck.
Great T-Shirt in this episode!
Hmm, so you might recommend 15 geese per acre? Do you maintain this system through your summer months? If so, how hot do your summer months get and how long do the highest degrees last before cooling down again? How often do you change their bathing water? How long is one roll of netting and how many are using for your geese? With it being electric can we assume that it keeps most of the 4 legged bad guys out?
there's also the option re: smaller footprint land wise, of sprouted fodder/or sprouting fodder for feed...there are a lot of good resources online on how to go about that-and if one has a space to do it in year round, then it also ensures fresh food for them in winter.
“Great Freezer In The Sky” 🤣🤣🤣
I love how all the ducks run back home into their house when he calls.
I've known about the fois gras horror show for decades I really could have gone the rest of my life without that graphic video. Probably won't sleep tonight. Sigh. This is why I stopped reading mail from PETA.😱 But it's good you're educating people.
The geese are so big!! 😍😍😍
Have you ever made goose jerky? Not sure about the domestic birds, but for the Greater Canadians we simply breast them out and grind it and season for jerky dehydration. We have made it side by side with deer venison and the same seasonings and most people who try them both favor the goose jerky in blind taste testing. I would imagine you could simply add the livers into the ground breasts as a filler into the jerky mix. If you are trying to monetize your farming jerky is quite expensive and is a tasty way to cure and preserve your efforts. I highly recommend trying this. Other than goose jerky, I am not a fan of the goose meat prepared in any other fashion so this is really the only option I see for use.
Love the geese. Clover is good food for geese.
I'll bet buddy's pate tastes amazing. A mix with wild genetics, and all natural foods . So much richer I'll bet.
I wasn't ready for that footage tho. Already traumatized by that one yrs ago. But thanx for bringing more awareness to the public.
Haven't eaten the stuff myself. But if it came from yours or his ducks ...I would try it.
❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦☕️☕️
Love ducks chickens and geese.. other than they are way messier then chick during brooding stage :) however geese for the win on letting them be lawnmowers.. second would be ducks for eating grasses less feed for short term production (peking) for putting meat into the freezer .. oh not to mention I have australian shepherds and training them to work stock.. don't have space for sheep goats.. too.. chickens are cool.. done the cornish cross thing. Chickens are really really good at tick removal plus their digging is very useful along the stone wall and the house clearing weeds etc.. if you don't have any gardens.. there.. :) just wish getting geese was not so expensive.. oh both ducks and geese are loud.. little buggers like to talk and mess up their daily routine or they feel like you changed something they express it. :) But really most of the time they are pretty quiet..
I❤️ geese
Love ur video! I was researching that organs are very nutritious for dogs.
Really enjoy your videos and your positivity is preety infectious, that's a sub from me
Part-Time Permies. Mike is a chef.
I noticed the 2 pot bushes in the center of your garden there
how much feed do you go thru for your 31 geese? which breed is the quietest geese?
being a farmer is hard work. damn
Bruh that Tshirt. I want it.
I'm grazing seven geese on about 1/4 acre of pasture, three rotations, move them about every 4 days. Why? Because as you said, since they graze they require less shipped-in food than other poultry AND b/c other poultry causes erosion on my hillside, tear up garden beds (which I let them access during winter) and damage my fruit and nut tree roots with their scratching, which geese do not do. I am currently cutting back on the number- now that the 6 goslings are fully grown 7 seems like too many for the grass and I probably have too many males for them to abide peacefully once their first breeding season as mature birds comes this February. Totally failed at my first vent sexing attempt today, such a learning curve as with all things homesteading. I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, USA so the grass is slowing down now but in the summer we had a brief balance of grass growth to grazing and at another location nearby I kept my rental "lawn" mow-free and short like a golf course with three geese rotated in three sections for one whole summer. Portable electric netting is essential! I find it amazing that you'll have each paddock not grazed for 9 weeks. Here after two weeks ungrazed, the grass is so long the geese don't really like it. That's why I move em in three paddocks every 4 days. When they get to a new paddock, the growth is about 8 days old and they love it at that length (3-4"). Do you mow your paddocks? Also, my geese refuse to go into a shelter even in winter, but our winters are not as bad as yours must be in Vermont. I'd love your slaughter tips. I used bypass pruning loppers last year but hope to use "the Finisher" this year, a waterfowl hunting tool that severs the brain stem very quickly.
if you are in the burbs and want to set up a small goose system. do muscovy ducks they are basically gooses and they don't make much noise
I feel like you've answered this in one of the videos I've watched, but do the geese stay in these houses year round? I'm in Maine and trying to figure out what to do with these if I decide to keep two over the winter.
Love the “Defend New Orleans” tee shirt.
I like your system.. I'm in Alaska and in winter we get 4 or 5 feet accumulation of snow and no foraging for months. I'm wondering of the 30 geese are you overwintering ome of them, or do you have breeders separate rearing young geese..
Wile those are grazing on pastures...
00:38 my childhood in a nutshell
It all tastes like chicken 😂 - I'm no chef, but I did stay the night at a holiday inn express.
cool video, thanks for sharing
you should redo the house system to one big greenhouse house. for next year. i honestly think geese is the future of xmas in the usa. if you find the right people for the right market. geese and turkey are going to be so important for small farmers and meduim farmers. it's very hard for big farms to do goose right. they can't even fake it.
Hi..... 🎥👍👍👍
Look into the “heavy buttermilk/dairy/corn” mash that Bresse French Chickens are fed near the end of their production. No force feeding, but they are caged after pasture and fed this corn/buttermilk mash to fatten up on in the last two weeks....maybe add the mash to the last 3 weeks of the production time...it could produce a more fatty liver naturally..and better marbling in the meat.
Sounds weird, but what about "Goose liver for mostly vegetarians" with iron deficiency issues (specifically heme-iron; low ferretin). Like many vegetarians, I'm afflicted with this while still eating tons of dark greens and other iron sources; pills etc); heme iron and iron chemistry is complex and specific. Very reluctantly, I eat chicken liver once a month since it is basically the richest heme iron source available to me. Do you know the iron content of goose liver? Some vegetarians who may have these issues would really support a farmer using your methods.; maybe that's a negligible market, maybe that market will increase with rise in vegetarianism and / or some people held back from vegetarianism for such concerns. maybe silly ramblings thx
Liver is the richest source of iron on the animal period. It is actually the single best way to avoid anemia because it also gifts you with quite a bit of B12 too which also should be considered when avoiding anemia. Personally I would just eat some pastured animals but that's just me. Maybe you can try an ostro approach and try eating clams, scallops and oysters etc. Which do not have the ability to experience pain.That way you can ethically get all your nutritional needs with minimal animal suffering.
How does your geese not fly off?
Are their wings clipped or do they just not fly off because its their home?
A better alternative for backyards would be muscovy ducks as they are very quiet but also eat a lot of vegetation and the males get to a large size.
Very low in fat and they are wonderful to raise.
I plan on feeding them to my dogs...livers, lung, heart and gizzards...for all the animals that meet their end by my hand. Nothing should go to waste (have you ever composted feathers?)
We have sebastopol geese on about 2 acres. We lock them in a coop in the barn every night. They aren't for eating though.
Great video thanks for all the information thanks for sharing
Great video
Did you clip a wing for the ducks and geese? I'm new to this, looking for ideas.
Dang you could like step over me with that high kick
I want to plant hemp here but is not legal in Brazil
Why?
Love the tee - WHO DAT!
I like to see the harvest process for the geese....
I might show it.

Well your speaking to a guy who is bonkers about Honkers. And Goose liver tacos might be up your alley
You talk a lot with your hands .. it’s hypnotizing 👁🗨 ...😂👍🏻
😂🤣 it’s my secret to get people to keep watching videos 🤫
Gold Shaw Farm let me tell you this, I have no intention in raising, touching, feeding or eating ; goose ducks or any sort of bird !! But you do make it so interesting and the loving way you do it you my friend got my hook into watching your vids ! I love nature. And love the old way of life fermented pepper of all kinds hot or mild 🌶 i also make yogurt !!
I wish you success in accomplishing your dreams and goals !!!
I wonder if it would be possible to grind up regular goose liver with goose fat deposits from other parts of the body to produce a Faux foie gras with the same fat levels (and taste) as true foie gras. I imagine it would be nearly indistinguishable.
Are geese ever loud at night or super early in the morning? Do they have a time of day they are loudest?
Nice video... do you find that your geese tear at the poultry netting fence? How many do you keep per acre?
Mr Shaw I want to get about 50 acers n I want to build a small pond with an island in the middle to house my ducks n geese I was going to fence the island to keep my animals safe. To let them out I'd have like a doggie door built in the fence and it can be closed at night and opend in the morning. Would such a system work for ducks in geese?
Hello, wondering how are you doing 3 years later? What or who is your market for goose and duck meat?
