Gold Shaw Farm
PO Box 225
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.
Ginny has some impressive comedic timing and skills! What a precious bean :3
Another hint about cats: I had two cats that had been together for three years when one went missing. The remaining cat, Tinker, became surly during Dingbat's absence. She slept in different places, would only play for a couple of minutes and - as Pablo has done in two videos - welcome petting, give a sharp nip and then either repeat the process or leave in a huff. If we had had another animal, I am sure Tinker would have also been a bit nasty to that animal. Maybe Mollie's absence is affecting Pablo and causing the sharp nips he is given you plus his more frequent snaps and swats at Ginny.
In contrast, when Dingbat suddenly died, Tinker smelled his cooled body and none of the "bad" behaviors occurred. She did want much more attention and snuggling for a few weeks after his death, however.
Hoping you will feel better soon. Grief takes it’s own timeline. Hang in there❤
That was a love bite from Pablo, also a way to tell you he's done.
If there’s too much fruit, it will develop smaller , especially in young trees like that. There’s not enough energy to produce it all in full.
But, man that’s a healthy tree, and that variety of plum is delish! Had it when I lived an a farm. 💕🥰😎👍
Aw! Abby-dog doing those playful circles, when she greeted you! For the first time in a long time, I saw my girl doing those and being playful, this morning. She is almost 18 y/o, mostly blind, half deaf and doesn't have many energetic mornings, anymore. I wish loads of those for you, Toby and Abbie in the future, Morgan!
Many wonderful, energetic, loving and playful moments for you and your pet as well :)
Happy to hear maybe Macho man has his job under control!!!
Watching Toby tear past headed towards the only correct gate for entering his territory was a treat, as was Abby's gallop up the the high pasture. I enjoyed spending time with all the beasties - especially the kittys - love and strength out to you and family on that topic.
Abby reminds me of my black shepherd Kora. She was the CRAZIEST NUT omg, her and Abby definitely share the same energy and hyper mind. But like Abby, Kora has come into her very good adult self with bubbles of her usual crazy energy. She's a amazing pup just like Abby, so happy you worked with her and gave her the chance to be amazing.
Is Kora fixed? Ever since I watched that video about Abby getting fixed, I've considered getting my female Golden/G Shepherd/Rottweiler mix fixed. She's going to be 6 years old and I'm hoping getting her fixed will moderate her behavior, particularly barking at neighbors (she's a love bug and will take positive attention from anyone, but she seems to be territorial towards passersby).
I’ve had a bad day..
But as soon as I see Ginny and her silly-Clumsy personality My day shon as bright as the sun ❤❤
Ginny is providing mental health assistance by giving funny cat therapy. **Slide the planks off**
Note how in slow motion she realises something is not right and she prepares herself to boost off the falling planks.
Happy to hear you in a better mood Thank you for what you share with us.
Agreed
Since they are probably quiet at night, I would find the goose noise kinda neat if I had a small far with a few dozen animals in close proximity. However, I enjoyed the sound of mooing cattle when I lived near those animals. Some people don't want any animal noises.
I’ll take animal noises over traffic noise any day.
Thank you Morgan 👍🫂💗😊
It's good to see Randy mixed in with the herd. I bet he loves it. I just got my copy of your book last night and I LOVE it! You did a really good job with it, I can't wait for book two!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Pablo is the classic three-pat cat. More than that and he'll bite your fingers off! 😸
It's a love bite 😁
Truth!
Thank you for your kindness Morgan. I too am an animal lover. I too am going through heartbreak over my constant companion of the last 12 years, my “Whistle dog,” has cancer. He’s not got much more time with me so I’m sucking up as much love as I can. Just wanted to say you’re in my prayers and ty for your kind heart. God bless you. ~Lisa
🙏 it is so hard when we know their time is limited. Sending you hugs and prayers Lisa. As a fellow animal lover, my thoughts are with you.
Hey Morgan, I understand that maybe you have had some good experiances with Better Help but I would encourage you to look in to them a bit. There had been some serious alligations coming against them with how they treat and over work their therapists and not doing proper screening. Do with that what you will but just letting you know since you are promoting them through your channel. Love your videos.
The Scriptures are my therapy
I’ve had very good experiences with em and I think that the accessible nature of the platform is really important.
I got my Toby Dog book yesterday and it’s hard to put down. I love Toby!
Awesome! So glad you liked it.
Tobi and Abby are always a joy to see them work and having a good time they are good dogs
Tobi looks so proud getting groomed, Morgan's smile definitely shows the unconditional love he has for the fluff king ❤
I love the emotional support from your chaos comedy cat!
What an enjoyable day on your farm. I miss living in the countryside. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love how Ginni and Pablo interact at the end.
Lovely farm update this morning, Morgan, thanks.
My paperback Toby book arrived here in England today. I'm planning on giving it to my grandson for Christmas - but I reckon I can (carefully) read it myself before then!
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Morgan! In my experience plums prefer sunny, dry conditions with good watering over wet and raining with less sun. Might be the wet summer you got stunting them.
Geese are pretty easy. Nothing better than gosling sounds too. It is funny to watch them look at airplanes. They think they could be giant predators and will eye them like they may be a hawk or eagle. You can kind of train them a little. You can get them to come when you call. They defiantly will respond. They love making a racket. Defiantly enjoy asserting themselves with noise.
Morgan, thank you so much for your videos and your exceptional honesty! HUGS!!!!
I`m the one who's bummed out today. It was nice and comforting to listen. Thanks for checking in Morgan!💙
Any time!
she's not weird. she knows the best spot to make a nest.
She's the smart one knows what she likes and does it. Doesn't make her weird.
LadyBird goes her own way,
so did Einstein.
Where ever she lays her eggs, is her nest.
Yeah, like that pigeon that made her nest with 5 unconnected sticks😊, really know what she is doing
She's unique and a critical thinker😊
@@polacodaxt7892 your profile picture made me laugh who is unconnected? Okay hahaha
The little plums are the best
I've found they are the sweetest with best flavor. Definitely prefer the small ones over big plums.
So glad you are doing better. You are in my prayers. Look forward to your videos. Love learning about farm life.
Hey Morgan you never gave us an orchard update! It would be awesome to just have a video of you going over the growth of the trees.
Yes please! I am a couple years behind him with my orchard but got a few apples this year 🍎
Will do!!
@@GoldShawFarm Thank you
It always cracks me up with cats how they get iver stimulated while being pet and then chomp on your wrist, hand😅 my Minkies will be so loving and then she'll get this look and you know it's coming. She never hurts us but we know we're done with the moment of love 😂😅
Ginny's comedic timing is top notch! lol
Seeing you tell the pigs to "treat yo'self" really cracked me up. Thank you.
Don't be concerned when Mr Pablo Barn-Cat bites you. These nibbles are male, maybe also female, cat version of love-bites. My males did it also! It is only when claws are flying, or they grip with those talons are flying that you back-off! (Still can be painful though!) Pablo does love you though as he is displaying no aggression just appreciation!
Just got my first duck egg yesterday!!
Also, anyone near WI that wants male “weird chickens”? Out of 6 silkies I got only ONE hen. They are so sweet!
Thank you for the calming, peaceful view into your life on the farm
I love the way Morgan sees his animals as having different preferences and needs, not just because of their species but because of their personalities. I had 2 pet geese as a child, but sadly cannot have any now due to where I live. Those guys are LOUD.
My toddler is not a fan of Ms Rachel but loooves checking in with Mr Morgan and Goldshaw Farm. Thanks for another lovely video to woof, cluck, meow and moo along.
Morgan. If you don't know it. When a cat gives you a little bit like that it means they love & trust you. My Yoda does that.
Must be time to cull the lawn mowers soon, i hope we get a count, then a moment. Then a rundown on who is left😊
I'm glad to see you are available for happiness.
Thank You for Sharing..
Thank You for letting us all involved with your healing process..
My book has arrived 😊 all the way from Peacham Vermont to Worcestershire UK. I'm so excited to read it 😊
Thank you!!
Epic music as Abby runs along.
I've been keeping Kuban geese for 2 years and this year decided to add Landes breed to check them out. I heard swangoose base birds are louder. NOPE. Greylag base is so much worse. The generic honks are okay but the scream is nasty, man.
Ginny said "MORGAN, you still have me"...as the wood tumbled down!! Morning chores and a story from Gold Shaw is a great way to start my day!
When I watch Abby greeting you, it's exactly how Sookie greets me. Miss Wiggle waggle.
❤️
Interesting...I just finished watching "Cross Timbers Bison" where they spent an hour with the local AG Rep discussing how much weight of various animals can be grazed on how much land. The formula covers chickens to bison. For bison it ran from 11 to 15 acers per thousand pounds of bison.
Can't wait for lots of baby shaggy heeland coos!
9:50 🤣 Lol, that exact same thing happened to me when I filmed a YT video and my cat wandered by in the background.
Your hardcover book came in!!!
I LOVE the first pages even before the story begins!!!
I only got through Chapter 1, as I had to got to work, but it’s on the coffee table for my family
And it arrived in time for my husband’s birthday today.
It’s not exactly for him-but he doesn’t know that.
I bet he’ll love it, as he loves doggos and their stories☀️
Hope you enjoy it!
Abby - uses a cow pie pillow.
Morgan - calls Abby gross.
Also Morgan - pets Abby's gross head a few minutes later.
Thank you for another great video. I enjoyed the music choices you picked to coincide with the video.
Tysm Morgan for let PPL know how they can get help I know you still miss Molly Ty for the great video Hi Abby you are good girl
Toby is such a gentleman, he let Abby go thru the doggie door first.
That was a very entertaining and enjoyable way to spend a half hour watching my favourite channel Goldshaw farm everyday is different animals never stop ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
I love all your animals! Makes my heart sing 💜
Glad you're doing good they're adorable
Such a happy wholesome farm. Algorithm sent me here. Worth it
Chaotic Neutral sounds about right for cats. All my catfolk characters in D&d tend to be chaotic neutral.
I recommend the videos of Anathoth Community Farm in Idaho. He bale grazes his cattle on pasture through the winter.
Why is Ginny always so funny 😂😂😂😂
Some cats will bite like Pablo does because they get over stimulated when the petting goes on a little too long.
You need to prune those plum trees, but also help them a bit against tree munching insects, I see a lot of holes in those leafs. The simplest most effective way besides regularly trimming the weeds underneath is to cover the trunk with a hardy insect repellent each spring, preferably something non-toxic that won't easily wash off when it rains. I'm using slaked lime mixed in water to the consistency of sour cream, with a bit of gypsum to make it more sticky and some copper sulfate to also prevent fungal infections (about a cup of gypsum and a tablespoon of pure copper sulfate in a 2 gallons bucket of lime suspension), applied like paint from the ground level to the base of the lowest branches. You should also dump a few "cow pies" around your fruit trees to add some more nutrients into the soil, it really makes a big difference with little effort on your part.
Pablo was just giving you love bites that's all.
Abby is doing so great with the chickens! No doubt thanks to your hard work with her, Morgan. So impressed with her progress 🙂
1:22 She just wants some privacy. Not everyone's the same. I think give those weird birds a second small bird house they can fulfil their weirdest desires.
I just got my Toby Dog book yesterday and absolutely love it. Read it immediately. I think you did a fantastic job!
Wow, thank you!
I'm not sure what the final straw was, but somewhere I noticed that Toby was the Patriarch of the farm and not you (in the way you portray it on camera). I like that as a viewer. Growth is cathartic.
Pablo: Yes, hooman, pets, pets, pets....ENOUGH! *chomp!*
Morgan thank you for promoting “Help” ❤️🙏🏼🌸
I love your farm, and all the animals. Wish I could find some way to make it work in my life. Please move those pigs one last time before slaughter. We haven't seen much from their current enclosure, and it would nice to see them make progress on a new habitat.
Here for the fun and posting to get my little heart from the farm. 😀
There’s also a reason they’re called “alarm systems”.
Bonny and Belinda are getting so big! I worry about Bellatrix not having a friend like these girls when she's separated. Will you be putting another cow with her or consider getting another heifer to pair her with?
I do not remember which video it was but Morgan was planning another heifers to keep Beatrix company next summer.
A friend might be coming
I have 10 geese in 300ft of premier net with turkeys. During the summer in Florida the pasture stays super clean and tons of grass. During the winter I have to move them twice a
The only thing I regret about my Toby t-shirt is that I didn't buy one in every color.
Thanks for the farm update, Mr Morgan!
No matter what is going on, good or bad, avian content rules!
okay. abby’s face was definitely in that cow pie 😂 to be fair my dog rolls around in his own poop. i wish i knew what his thinking behind that is. the world may never know. also i would love to see more of the piggies eating lol
The mighty Goose Army goosestepping around the farm! Honl hon honk hank hank....
Hey Morgan, if your plums stay small in the coming years consider grafting on another variety-or several varieties. Sometimes people forget they have options like that. Also as you expand your pastures consider if some of your wild bushes/trees may be compatible with crop bearing species/varieties. Maybe you'll want some crabapple-apple grafts or wild-improved blueberries or something. You could also maybe graft and transplant wild saplings for your plant-nursery side hustle. Just sharing some kinda Ideas from things I've heard elsewhere on TH-cam. :-)
You have lovely grass pastures. Here in AZ, we have cactus and sand. I have zero plans to get geese.
We had a boss cow on the dairy farm I grew up on, her name was Molly!
Since you mentioned D&D. For me, Toby is Lawful Good. Abby is Chaotic Good 😁
Yup!
Those are two happy dogs right there
Great point about different personalities among animals even if they are the same breed. One of my Chihuahua mixes loves having her tummy rubbed but doesn't like being held, the other one is just the opposite!
Will Baby B spend next summer alone on the lower pasture? (to avoid being bred too early) as the 2 young heffers have done this summer
Maybe it will depend on whether or when new baby cows appear in the spring. Cheers 💜
She’ll probably be in the lower pasture with a friend.
@@GoldShawFarm Hey Morgan thanks for replying, is this friend already on the farm or will be a new arrival? Maybe could keep her with one of the older Heffers on lower, while the other older Heffer goes to upper pasture (for Macho Man to breed) then rotate. Very intriguing! Best Wishes
Do you need to manage rodent in the upper cow and water fowl pastures, given you are leaving a lot of grains up there? Anyway, thanks for the video. Good to see today the topic comes back to the birds.
No need. There is very little grain and the chickens guard it.
Just want to let you know on a sidenote that I am wearing my Molly murder mittens T-shirt to bed this entire week and hugging it dearly and sending you love 💔
I hope you create an uplifting routine for the winter days.
Always good to see you, Morgan 😁
They're loud but much better than leaf blowers!
This electric fencing is so great. It makes such a difference. No don’t hurt yourself with it. I so enjoy seeing happy munching cows. That was really interesting in how many geese you should have per acre for people want to have geese. Baby Bee is turning into a big girl. Please gibe those beauties of your dogs hugs and a kisses from me. You are correct each animal is different and have to be treated as such. The pigs are looking very happy. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for all the great content Morgan. Im a D&D player and that bear from a few videos ago definitely made a saving throw! Lol Thanks again!
That is awesome!
What an interesting life you have, my friend!
Very cool 👍
Gunny telling you to take that wood and make her a cat tree with a little house on top for her. To keep your mind distracted. Lol
hey Morgan, I always feel like a jerk when I do this but some unsolicited bike advice: It looks like the stem is backwards on your bike. This is the part that attaches to the handlebars -- it almost always is meant to protrude forward/away from you. No real harm in having it point toward you other than it maybe feeling cramped/weird but thought I'd just mention this.
Enjoyed the video today, looking forward to seeing the trees change up there in VT very soon :)
I have flipped for easier camera mounting and one handed riding
@@GoldShawFarm I see, I was wondering if that was the motivation and was why I was hesitant to say something. Thanks for explaining 🖖
Loved spending the morning with you, Toby, Abby, Ginny and all the animals that make Gold Shaw Farm the place to have a cup of coffee and begin the day.
Thanks Morgan for taking us along, see you soon!
Glad you enjoyed it
