Peacham, VT 05862
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.

Our Newest Calf has a Name!
@@GoldShawFarm Ahhh it's official!
I like the name
Congratulations
Beatrix Potter was a huge advocate for saving small farms in England. She used the proceeds of her books to buy small farms to save them from being bulldozed into into track house communities.
Love the name! Beatrix! Yes! What a beautiful baby
This calf naming is serious business. We are going to hear Morgan talking about this calf and calling out this name for years to come. I think I really want to hear Morgan repeatedly yell “Biiiiiiiiiiscuit”!
Better... Bond. Cow Bond.
Because Morgan wants to bond with her.
I am SO here for Biscuit the calf :D
I like Biscuit too
You could name her Betty for the late Betty White who recently passed. Great Actress.
biscuit would be adorable
Abby snuggling with the calf is so wholesome I can’t ❤
Thank God she didn't go for the afterbirth the way I fully expected her to😆
Abby is bigger than the calf. 🤣🤣
@@krisfinley6706hey it’s full of important nutrients 🤣
My thoughts, exactly. 100% the best part of the video. 🐂🐕
They gonna be sisters. Mischievous sisters. 🤣
Amanda going from being the most skittish cow to the most tolerant when it comes to who is around her baby was not on my bingo card! The baby is adorable and this video was all over the place in the best way!
Bambam?
Calf names: Binta, Bella, Becka, Benna.
I was also surprised!
Abby loosing her winter coat has me chuckling because she is so much more fluffy than she normally is
Morgan, please don't ever apologize for wholesome adorable day-old calf videos. It's what we live for. I'd watch a 24 hour live stream of that alone.
Are you thinking of moving Amanda and her baby to be with Bonnie and Belinda? With the boys tussling it might be safer for the baby to be closer to the house and away from the rough housing.
It also may help Amanda establish herself in the herd, and give the baby herd-mates closer to her size to play with.
Highland cattle are unlike most breeds. The bulls are generally gentle until threatened. Allowing the family to bond as a fold is very beneficial to a calf.
Hey Morgan! I have a quick tip about your pumpkin plants. When you notice that the young plants (when the leaves are still very small) are flowering, you want to pinch off the flowers. This is because the young plants are not yet able to support producing large fruit. You should wait till they have several good-sized leaves to allow them to start producing fruit.
Thanks for this tip! Useful to me, as well.
Dip the flowers in egg batter and bread crumbs, and fry. Yum!
There's no need to do that. The plant produces a lot of male flowers to attract the bees, so when the plant is ready to produce the female flowers, the bees will be around to pollinate. The plants know what they are doing without interference from humans. There is one small exception; since the pumpkins are inside the hoop coop and no bees, then hand pollination will be needed.
The pumpkin plants will not produce the female flower until it's ready. You're not going to get a pumpkin from the first few flowers. If eating them is something you would like to try, then go ahead and remove the flower. Otherwise, leave it be, the plants know what they are doing. 😉🙂
Congratulations on the new little ball of life! She’s so cute, Birdie would be a cute name for her since she’s already warming up to you right off the bat!
Birdie is a good name
Birdie is so cute!
Batty if she turns out to be a doof ball!
@@marilynmurray3041 this made me laugh out loud

Abby is really doing her job guarding the calf. One of those jobs is helping to clean it off if the mama doesn't mind and trusts her plus eating the afterbirth if the mother doesn't. They do it to keep preditors from picking up the scent. Abby is finding her place on the farm and with the herd. Good job Abby!
Abby really is the perfect cattle dog. I am so happy to see how she turned out
Betty Boop! What a beautiful calf. Nice integration 😊
Such a good name suggestion. Definitely got my vote
I thought Betty Boo too. Great minds eh!!☺️
Yiiiippp Betty boop is what came to mind as well ☺️
Brilliant minds think alike
Perfect! ❤
Betty White popped into my head!! Great name for the wee one 😊. She's absolutely gorgeous, Morgan and Abby dog loves her already!! ❤️
Love it!
Betty Boop......
Same!
Betty White is a great name, and you know her namesake would be honored to have such a well-cared-for animal named after her.
@@hollyevolving agreed
Abby's all like "all my life I wanted one of the cows who is my size!"
Aunty Abby is so precious with the new baby!
I remember when you were not able to touch the cows. It is AMAZING to see how hard work makes such a beautiful relationship. Thank you for sharing all the progress and mistakes and disapointments ,happiness and frustration. I is so important to feel all the feels and learn all the time!
Thank you!
Abby's interaction with the calf, has proved Morgan 💯 right that Abby is a guardian dog for the cattle..
The bond between Abbie and the calf is heartwarming. Would love to see more videos in future of their bonding moments. Abbie has definately found her job on the farm with the cattle.
You might want to look up the word "rendering". I don't think that's the word you wanted to use. And even "heart-rending" kinda means "heartbreaking". Maybe "heartwarming" would be the go?
Oh my gosh, that first, tiny, little moo.
Abby is absolutely smitten with that calf 😊
Congrats on the new baby! It's so heartwarming to watch you pet & brush & chat with her while Abby keeps close watch! I could watch an entire video of just you and baby Betty White! (Someone else here made that suggestion, and I fell for it lock, stock, and barrel because Betty was such a devoted animal lover!)
i say sae it for Abby's pup someday...
I never realized how eloquent Randy is, or how deep his reflections have become in his solitude on the pasture!
That motherly instinct of Abby melts heart 😍😍
Abbey has found her element. She’s so peaceful with the cows. Like when Toby found his rhythm. It’s amazing and beautiful to see!
❤❤❤ agreed
It’s nice to see her energy and personality has a place here :)
I was so worried she wouldn’t be able to fit in and have to be washed and made a pet, working dogs deserve to have jobs, though I understand some just don’t have the focus to
Yes, she has too much energy to ever be a pet. She is a lovely girl, but she needs something more to focus her energy into, not at all like a dog who would lounge on the couch all day. Her life on the farm, with the cattle just speaks to her. She has found her niche.
Your Macho Man Randy Savage monolog was on point. You had me rolling in laughter but also made me sad the man is gone. That was grear, Morgan.
Mama is so good. She is so calm cool and collected. She’s letting both you and Abby touch a newborn calf which is very very unusual. Normally they’re very protective. She’s going to be a great mama and you’re gonna have fun.
I wouldn't call that a good thing tbh. Good for the farmer perhaps, but not the intended behaviour at all for a new mother.
@@arcan762 she's used to both Abby and Morgan, there is nothing to be worried about for now unless other signs arise, or am I mistaken here?
@@ThereIsNoAOS She's also the lowest Cow, so she knows that Abby is there to protect her.
Its honestly pretty shoking how collected Amanda is considering she's Morgans most skitish cow
It depends if it's genuinely only because she knows and trusts them or if she maybe really just doesn't care as much as she should in general. You'd have to get a stranger in there or something and see if she'd be more protective then, maybe. If she really just doesn't care as much as she's supposed to, it could leave the calf vulnerable and unprotected even at times when the calf really needs a mama watching out for it. This could just be due to inexperience[ as the mama Amanda is young and this is her first calf ever so she might just not quite know what she's doing as a mom yet] and may improve over time-or it could be that Amanda simply isn't the most maternal cow in the world and motherhood may not be her most natural or preferred potential calling in life. Only time will tell. I'm sure Morgan will keep a close eye on it, either way, and will act accordingly to whatever they do or don't turn out to need. 🙂
I missed or forgot that there was a baby to be born. So beautiful to see Abby grooming the calf
It kinda snuck up on us! It wasn’t ever confirmed iirc, but for a few videos now Morgan has been saying how big and preggo Amanda looked. Apparently she came that way!
I love how Abby is taking her livestock guardian dog role very seriously. That calf is going to be guarded by Abby so much 😂😂 Congratulations on the new calf.
I agree... Abby is coming into her own... On the Farm...good call
@@brendadaily3140 she’s finally found her place on the farm.
Great Guardianship Abby. You definitely have found your proper job.
it’s a shame abbie’s genetics didn’t turn out, it seems like she would’ve made such a good mom. She’s so maternal. Well at least she’ll get to be a second mom to many many little calf’s over the years ☺️.
Abby is being so sweet! Amanda really trusts you and Abby. As far as a name for that adorable little girl. Betty for Betty White is an obviously good choice. Berlin is a great band from back in the day and I like it as a girls name. Biscuit may be my favorite.
I like this one. Much respect to betty white.
I love the name Betty
Barbara Streisand
Such a happy day! Congrats! Some Scottish “B” names I found are: Beitris - bringer of gladness; Blaen/Blayne - little yellow one; and Blaer/Blair - dweller of the field. Though I also really like the names Birdie and Babette as suggested by others. And Babette works since so many suggested Betty. She is so sweet and calm 🥰
Ohhh Blair would so suit her!
That’s very nice! I also like Briar. I nice earthy name that comes from nature.
I love the idea of naming her Babette!!!
Congratulations on your new baby! She is beautiful! I think Barbara Streisand would be a fitting name for her.
Man I just wanna say it’s nice to see you turning your farm around and your weight loss and all, just happy for you, keep up good work
Abby seems to sense that she’s vulnerable and needs protecting. What a good girl. ❤
Omg goodness❤. Amanda had been carrying this baby and we never knew it. She's so precious. I saw Bella as a name and I think that's a prefect name.
Bailey is adorable!!!😂😂😂 Congrats on the new addition. What a wonderful surprise! Abbey’s a great protector
The calf cuddling with Abby is adorable!It's so great to see Randy finally with the herd, too. How about Beyoncé Knowles for the new heifer?
I already wrote Beyonce before I saw this comment, darn!
But you did beat me by a whole day!
0:37 since i usually a bit high watching GSF videos, this is my favorite part
thanks Morgan
Everything was so amazing! Abby and the calf together is so cute, I always want to see more of that! I think Randy liked playing with the bucket.
Butterscotch was the first thing that came to mind for name. She's so cute! (灬º‿º灬)♡
I love it❤
I thought Brie, but butterscotch is really cute too
Love that name Butterscotch
@@arlitabeard7693 so so i - they can save for the future altho he tends toward Rock/Star names for some reason.
Yes butterscotch
The baby "Moo" caught me off guard and made my cry from its cuteness 😍😍😍
Randy getting all philosophical today! I really needed that. 😂
Congrats on the surprise calf! ❤
That was pretty hilarious. Especially when he used the echo feature....well done Morgan.
One of my favorite comic strip characters from my childhood - Brenda Starr! The calf is beautiful and glamorous with lots of red wavy hair 😊 luv seeing ur farm evolve!
Abby will never be a puppy mom but she is obviously a very good baby cow mom! What a sweet loving girl.❤
A book and a little documentary too! Look at you go. Your little farm has come such a long way in the couple years I’ve been watching. Your guys’ life has come an even farther way and you should be so proud ✨
Welcome to the world precious little one. You’re so blessed to live on the greatest farm ❤️🙏🥰
She’s adorable! I’m so glad she and Amanda are both safe and healthy! And it’s great she happened to be born right in time to line up with Morgan’s intended calving season.
Never apologise for cute animal interaction! Abby dog and baby Bella (?!) are so cute together. Good on Abby dog!
What an adorable baby! She is beautiful and, to me, she looks like a Barbara. ❤
She sure does!
I was thinking Barbara Walters! 😂😊
I was also thinking as in Barbara Gordon
Or Barbara Eden! :D
Would love Barbara Millicent Roberts, for the Barbie-doll 💕 The movie is coming out this month as well
cuteness complete overload!!!! Abby is being like a big sis and an auntie and a mom and a bestie omg these two!!!!!
So glad it all went well with Amanda. Calf is adorable.
Aaaah! Look at Abby with the new calf! It’s beyond adorable. Congratulations Gold Shaw Farm on the new addition!
Beatrix is a cool name. Nice morning gift! A cute little calf. I know you will give her much love!
Bella is a good name for the calf. So cute and friendly 😊🥰☺️.
I agree,! I was going just going to post the name also
I vote Batilda
Bella Donna, then she has a Stevie Nicks song 🎶
Bella swan!!
@@deed5811 thats a deadly poison woman did put in their eyes centuries ago...
Your new baby girl looks like a “Babette” to me!!
Congrats to mamma & farmer for your precious new baby. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think Babette is great since so many others are suggesting Betty as well 🥰
I do like Betty, also! Argh, so many nice names to choose from, suggested in these comments.
Awesome video.
Abby protecting the new lil' heifer
is priceless. She's doing her job. ❤️
Beatrice (Bea)
Abby has found her calling! She is soo very gentle with that baby calf. Good job Abby ❤
16:17 Sticking with the 80s-90s singer vibe, I was trying to think of one of my favorite singers from that time, but I currently have a raging case of depression derps. So I went over to Google and flexed my search phrase skills!
Björk!
This name works on a few levels! Cute little calf, cute little singer! Both wee ladies have northern roots! Both kind of have an alternative vibe but are accepted by many different groups of people!
Congratulations on the new calf. For the calf name, how about Betty White because she was so sweet and an animal lover or maybe even Bernadette Peters since she had reddish hair like your calf. Love watching your channel here in York, PA. 🙂 I'm sure you'll select a good one.
I love the name Betty white
Hi neighbor! I'm in Thomasville, watching right along with you 😊
Omg the new calf snuggling with abby was the sweetest thing i have seen today.
Look how fluffy Bridget is now you've brushed her! She's a beaut.
It's great that Amanda had such a good calving - Gold Shaw farm births have all been straightforward so far.
Touch wood!
OMG! How adorable is this new calf!! Thank you for letting us watch her! I think Abby is adorable with the new calf too!
Great job Auntie Abby! ❤
Beatrice of Gold Shaw Farms! 🥰
The older cows already know that you and abby arent a threat, so they are chilling, but you can see that when you tried to lift the calf momma come running head raised and focused.
Arrgh, I can't take the cuteness! :D Abby is going to be so protective of the new little girl.
Betty seems to be the no 1 name suggestion from reading the comments.
Cuteness overload on the new calf she looks so soft and fluffy
How about Betty Boop for a name,lol, love the new baby girl she's adorable. These are some exciting times with at Gold Shaw Farm, excellent vlog thanks Morgan.
You are a creative soul. Macho soliloquy made me weep. Bravo, sir
Amanda is happy to let Aunty Abby babysit! I've seen similar on other channels. Congratulations on the new one and successfully moving your bull!
Congratulations on your new baby, she's so cute! As someone mentioned earlier Betty would be a cute name.
You are such a fantastic story teller! Love your animals! ❤
What a sweet little girl. Brianna might suit her and seems to go nicely with Belinda and Bonnie. So many Blessings 🙏💗🙏🏾
I think this is my favourite episode so far. Great story telling. Thanks.
Your pole gate was called a laundry pole by my grandmother. When the blankets got washed the closeline drooped to low and the pole held the blankets from the lawn. I love watching you figure out how you are going to work your farm. I wonder how my father figured out things when he was 16 and had his first farm. He had left his parents small farmette when he was a small boy and moved to the city. He couldn't wait to get back to what he thought of as better days. Anyway thank you for bring me on your adventure.😂❤
Abby is adorable. She has some great nurturing skills ❤
Another calf and soon more to come, while you also manage the pasture. It looks like a lot of work, and I hope you are happy with the ecosystem you have created
Wow what a beautiful video!!! ❤ the calf, Abby, a proud caring mom, and a bequtiful respectful bull! Thanks for telling beautiful stories of what happens in your farm!!! ❤
I don't usually comment on videos but I can't resist this time.
Bethany would be an adorable name for the new baby 😊
man, your videos are my daily drop of peace and mindfullness. thank you very much
It’s so cute how Momma-Abbey & the baby girl are cuddling, 🥰🐄❣️
Abby bonding with the calf is super sweet!
Morgan, I love the idea of naming her Babette!!! Such a great name reference from, for me especially, Gilmore Girls (played by Sally Struthers who also played the daughter of Archie and Edith Bunker on All in the Family). And I know Morgan has seen Gilmore Girls from the great references he has pulled out in past videos (I personally believe made just for my amusement). Side note to Morgan: I finally got my own chickens (Rory, Lorelei, Babette, Miss Patty, and Bonus Nugget (I got outvoted on the last one)). But just wanted to say thank you for all the years of videos to teach this ole city gal what to do for chickens and how to give them the best life.
Omg I love the chicken names so much!!
Congratulations on the new heffer calf. Name suggestions Betty White or Blanche Devereux. Moving Macho Man was a struggle but you did it without major issues. Job well done 👍
I love how much Abby loves the cows and the new heffer. So cute when they were napping together.
My goodness, Morgan, you have come so far. You sound so professional. You really look like you know what you're doing. Well done.
I think you nailed the name. Bridget. It's cute. We had an adopted black standard poodle and her name was Bridget. Although we spelled it Bridgette. ( French poodle and all). Congratulations🎉
Abby was so incredible with the new baby. That was precious ❤ Maybe Bella for her name?
Bella deball
@@richardduggar4665 love that!
Oh WOW what an excitng day!!! Thanks so much for taking us along. I was exhausted in a good way and I didn't even have to lift my fanny. LOL Much love Morgan
🥰 BETTY GOLD 🥰
thats what I vote for, like the wonderful namegiving artist with her amazing sculptures and other art projects, the adorable, sweet little calf managed to surprice everyone already by it's birth! So... I believe that name fits perfect... especially on this farm, right?
I enjoy every new glims I get to see about your golden farm!
Btw.
❤ Thank you also very much Morgan, for speaking up (besides everything else) about your eating struggles and also about ADHD!
I'm suffering from an emotional binge-eating disorder with the twist of punishing myself by eating food, that I absolutly dislike. Watching your steady weightloss makes it easier for me to bite through my own weightloss. Also several of the, from you described situationes, that you related to having ADHD and me - realising I could relate very well to quite a few of them, made me get tested out! Since some weeks now I now, that I'm having ADHD too and that my permanent lateness a.s.o. is actually simply a severe time blindness because of ADHD! 😅
There are realy no words that would thank you enough, for all your shared content about these subjects.
❤ Thank you and Alison for sharing all the wonderful moving moments on your farm! Wow - what you've accomplished over the last couple of years! 👏
May God be with you both and your remarkable farm!
🎉 Greetings from Austria/Salzburg
I definetliy enjoyed the jumping back and forth. And the more there is to see the better!
BUNNY??? You found her lying in the grass like a wee baby rabbit. 🐰🐮🐰🐮
What a wonderful surprise for you and all of us Morgan. New life on the farm is always the best time. My hope us that Amanda turns out to be a great mom and having the baby increases Amanda's bond with the rest of the ladies.
Abby is great with the calf and Randy getting to join the herd is a beautiful sight.
The big question of the day is for the new calf, Who's your daddy?"
I know nothing about cattle in general, but would it be out of the question for Kurt Cobain to be the Dad?
@@juliemcgugan1244 Kurt was a steer. Not a bull. He could not be the father even if he tried xD
@@NLance Ah, I must have missed that! Thanks!
Could Amanda have been pregnant when she came to the farm?
How about Betsy Ross since we are so close to the 4th?
🎉 🇺🇲 ❤
I’m a new watcher. Your tears re your lost cat was what got my interest. I was wondering if you are married. I’m from New England, also.
Been watching Lester in Texas……..
Congratulations on the new farm member! My suggestion for names are Bette Midler, Betty Davis, Betty White, or Blanche Devereaux. 🎉🎉
Congratulations on the new calf and moving Randy in with the cows!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Beautiful little calf ❤ The first name that came to me, was Beatrix Potter, it especially fits great, with her budding friendship with Abbydog.
Blanche is a cute name for the new calf ❤
I love how you show us your struggles and success ❤️ thank you for letting us see everything ❤
Morgan this was a great video!!! I loved all the content and all the different storylines!! So don't beat yourself up over that! It was awesome!!!
What an adorable addition to the farm!
