"Why isn't the calf on your farm already ?!" Guys, cows take 2 YEARS to reach adulthood, and 3 to reach their full size. There is no need to be hasty about it, he's got time ^^
i love that you took alison's concern seriously and didnt just dismiss her fear. it shows you know its important to be respectful of her fears and how comfortable she is at her farm, even if she is mostly at her garden
The owners of Shad Acres obviously spend a lot of time with their animals, as they are so docile and receptive to being handled. They also have a wealth of knowledge and information to share on the correct method of approaching cattle in a safe manner. The majority of us who’ve never been around cattle wouldn’t realize the position of a cows eyes really plays a major role in their field of vision.
@@GoldShawFarm Keeping that eye position in mind when you approach your cattle to pet them may be key to your success. I think you often put your hand near the center of their faces, where they can't see it.
my neighbour raised a bull calf right up to full size one evening he was bringing and then he turned on him for no reason and nearly killed him peting them might make them more tame but they can still be very dangerous ive seen alot of people handling bulls and cows like theyre pets onw little thing can set them of people need to be more catious aroung cattle
My uncle hand raised his breeding bull after his momma died, and he became the most gentle, loving, understanding angus bull that any one has ever met. HOWEVER, that didn’t mean he wasn’t 100% tame. A bull is a bull, regardless of how patient and nice they are. Never trust them, never turn your back on them, they’re still bulls and they’ll still act like them.
The tamest of bulls can become more unpredictable and more aggressive in the spring at the beginning of the breeding season. Also a menstruating woman should Never go in close proximity.
Randy is a really handsome little bull! His color has darkened a lot. With the continued attention when he comes home, I believe you will have a darn good bull on your hands Morgan. Great video!
I used to have a shoulder cat but she got too big for my shoulder & doesn’t climb up there any more. I’m a little sad about that. Even if she lost a lot of weight, she’s a bit afraid of heights now & doesn’t like to jump.
I had a team of 12 Alaskan Malamutes for about 14 years (they pulled sleds and carts and we also hiked with them a lot). They lived outdoors 365 days of the year. The only time they used their dog boxes was when it rained during the summer or if it was really sunny in the summer. Outdoor dog breeds can handle being outdoors.
I think Allison already loves Randy "Macho Man" Savage. The more she interacts with him, the more comfortable she'll become with him. It's scary when stepping outside your comfort zone. The fact that Allison was grooming him during her visit was a big step forward for her. Of course, Ginny, the scene stealer, is her usual adorable self. It makes my day to see everyone doing so well. Soon enough everyone will be comfortable with the new arrivals to GSF. Take care and stay warm.
Actually I was more concerned about the barn cats living outside, but they do now have cozy shelter available should they want it. Winter is the Maremma breed's season, however a particularly warm time in the summer is when people should be complaining. Seriously though, Morgan deeply cares for all his animals no matter where fate and farm need takes them. Looking forward to the bull calf's arrival!
I think it's sweet that Alison thinks of your safety first and foremost. I think that's the nurse in her. I also think it's really cool that she is open minded enough to go see Randy and get to know him. It's nice to see what a good example of a marriage built on compromise and communication is! I love both of you guys. And really enjoy when Allison makes it on screen. Good luck with your new bull and stay safe out there Morgan!!!
I often wonder why Arial's acceptance of being touched, brushed and milked hasn't set an example for the other cows, including her calf, that being petted feels good.
Glad that you're planning everything out with the bovine; that's smart. It's also super considerate of you to make sure Allison is a big part of the discussion and that you're willing to spend time making sure she's comfortable with the goings on around the farm. I'm excited for your herd to expand but it's really up to you when and how that happens. I hope you don't let any of the comments here get you down regarding those things. Also good advice from the Shat farm about only having the 1 bull on the property. We had one trespass one year and it really caused a lot of problems and damage. If you've never seen two 2K lb bulls going at it, it's something to behold. But it's also weirdly terrifying.
My grandpa had a stud ranch in the summers I took it upon myself to love on each n everyone by the end they were all coming to me for loves😆 i never went into the pens because I'm not dumb and definitely knew the bulls were not to be played with so im glad to see you taking your time being smart with the cattle but still taming them to your farm its so satisfying 🥰
7:07 I'll never understand why some people feel entitled to complain about you taking whatever time you need to get the animals you want on your farm. Like, you don't owe us (the viewers) anything. It's *your* farm, for crying out loud. Just because you've decided to allow us a peek at your farming journey via TH-cam doesn't mean random internet people suddenly have a right to control literally anything about your farm. The entitlement some people feel just blows my mind... seriously. That said, loving the content, Morgan. Keep on doing what you're doing, and know that lots of us out here appreciate being brought along for the ride, wherever it may lead and however long it takes to get there.
Randy is such a handsome and calm bullcalf 🥰 I think Allison fell in love while brushing him 😉 That was really cute 😍 Maybe Seeing cattle from a distance makes a big difference than developing a direct relationship with one of these animals from an early age. I think Randy will be added to Allison's list of her favorite animals! 🥰💁🏼♀️😄 Thank you for your videos Morgan, my favourite channel. Always my highlight of the day! ❤️
Morgan, how nice for you that the folks at Shat have become a resource for you for both animal acquisition and information on techniques of stewardship.
A single bull is relatively calm, but remember to never disturb him while he's actually in the process of mating, even restrain the dogs from getting close to the cattle at such times to avoid any accidents. Also you should consider trimming (blunting) the horns of all your cattle, if done right (usually by a veterinarian) this doesn't hurt the animals whatsoever and can make a huge difference in case of some accident, both regarding your own safety and potential fights between the cattle themselves.
@@TeenDream888 These don't work as well for cattle, both because of the animal's mass (much more inertia translating as much higher forces at the point of impact) and because of the shape of the horns (curved foreword, not backwards as in most goats). I've got several friends raising Angus cattle, even if they don't intentionally shred whatever you stick on their horns a defensive horn blow will pierce through the pool noodle like it's nothing, one lost a shepherd dog this way (accidentally killed by a startled cow).
So happy to hear Allison was comfortable with having a Bull on the farm! And Randy Macho Man seems perfect! It will be so much fun watching your Fold grow! Very excited for you!
We raise Galloway. Love them! Gentle, calm, and great keepers, gentle on the land and good producers. Having to wait for the weather, for the animals, for the right time, is a big part of being a farmer... Thank you
How exiting ! I watch your videos every day and honestly cannot believe how many stories are built in such a humble adorable farm ! Amazing work on what you have done ,to you both !!! Best wishes from the UK! 😊 (ps, loving the scratches all animals get when are greeted ) , I wish all farm animals in the world could be treated with respect and kindness - like you are giving them all in your farm) 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I think our bull is a great ambassador for Highland bulls. When customers come out, he loves to get attention. People are cautious with him, and he is just like "give me scratches".
City raised people are so funny, they think everything in life is in the category "push a button and it materialize". On a farm, you have to deal with a lot of "unexpected", you have to adapt to weather, to animal development (each individual having it's own schedule, just as human children), etc.
It is just smart to be wary of such large animals. My parents have had huge bruises and even some broken bones during the years, and ours are milking cows so they all have been used to human touch since they were little, to make sure they are fine with handling. Accidents just happen sometimes no matter how hard you try to prevent them. Anyway, I'm happy you're doing great and I can't wait to see how your cattle situation looks like in a few years! It's gonna be a bit bittersweet though, as my parents have been slowly getting rid of their cattle and the last ones are going away tomorrow. They've had them way before I was even born, but you cannot stop time, and they are getting too old to be able to continue keeping them. A few calves will still remain for a while though.
A chill leader makes for a chill herd. I used to watch another channel with Highlands, and they had one female that was super skittish, super angsty, and unruly. She constantly led the small herd in breaking through fencing, and kept them all in a state of high alert. She didn’t start out as the leader, but because the focus of the herd is survival, they kept deferring to her nonsense antics, and she became the leader by default. The farmer got rid off that cow and the rest of the cows settled out nicely.
Morgan. It is pretty obvious about the horns. You can't miss them. But being mindful of them and learning correct posturing around them then one could live with them. I think your approach to getting your wife acclimated with the idea of a bull on the farm has been great!
I love how you started this video with your shoulder cat!!! 🐈 😻 and gave us an update on Randy "The Macho Man" Savage. He's a cutie and a great bull for the farm. Great video, Morgan!
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait....let the craziness ensue!!! I'm excited and I expect that there will be video after video after video, once all the new additions start to show up at the farm!!! Thx for the update and the visit with Alyson and your new bull!!!
Great update Morgan! How exciting when your long sought after bull arrives though, and I'm thrilled to see Allison warming up to the idea of cattle. Safety first and enjoy the ride!
Very wise to be wary of bulls, I grew up on a farm, our Hereford bulls were docile but you can never predict behaviour around cows. My lovely friendly rooster goes crazy if there's hens about, it's just their nature - but they don't weigh a half a ton with horns!
That video of the garden is how I found your channel. Years ago I did a search for what I experienced growing up with ducks and searched ducks as a pest control and rest was history. You have awesome positive energy and content! Keep it up. Let’s go!
Hi Morgan!! Quick observation, you might wanna put some tposts into the ground I see your pannels leaning. And once they finally do fall they get all bent and what not. Love your videos!
Oh wow Morgan that's so awesome randy is so loving I hope he stays that way once he's there I guess maybe as long as u keep visiting him until you get him there he will and maybe when randy comes and they see him letting yall do all that maybe your others will let you that was just to sweet and seeing your wife brushing randy and smiling was just so cute
My mom grew up on a farm. They had dairy cows. When visiting her dad’s farm when i was little, she told me about being wary of bulls. She explained them to me when one appeared across the river from us. Thanks mom 🐂
While I understand people wanting to see beginning to end all in one clip. I personally love that you take us on your journey as it’s happening. There is very rarely things hidden as secrets until it’s completed to be shown. You constantly give updates and I love that. It is more realistic of how long things take and I highly enjoy that. Keep you that great work!
So glad you are taking the time with your animals and being patient, also really nice you took Alison to meet the bull before he arrived and didn't ignore her fears ♥
😮 WOW!!! Your portrait of Alison and Randy is absolutely stunning. The lighting is amazing. Alison looks so beautiful in that photo and Randy is truly is adorable. I hope that you have that photograph professionally printed on archival paper and framed. It is a keeper. By the way I have 2 degrees in photography, so please consider it my expert opinion that you took an excellent high quality photograph. Ask Jessica at Roots and Refuge, I bet she will confirm my assessment of the quality of your photo. Besides that photo commemorates a historic moment for your farm. Alison meeting Randy for the first time. Since you are that good of a photographer, you need to be documenting the landmark moments with still photos. In 20 years, you will be happy that you did.
One thing I have noticed with owners of bulls, is they never completely trust their bulls no matter how docile they are. They will be brushing and loving on their bulls, and telling you to always read the body language and keep an eye on them as a bull can be irritated and push you away, doing injury accidentally. It won't be on purpose, but a bull has 10 times the body mass and don't always know their own strength. 🤔💖😉
Your dogs are meant to be outside. With the addition of Abby they are not lonely. Toby is doing what he is Breed for. He would be unhappy in the house. As for Abby I respect your decision to not breed her. You have done what is best for your farm and have huge ethics instead of making a quick buck. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Morgan, I know this is beside the point and I'm probably telling you what you already know but...your wife is an absolute beauty. Honestly. In a world of pretension, layers of makeup, implants, reveal-everything-clothing, filters and a general trend of gaudy glamour...Allison is just so refreshingly lovely.
Please ignore the ignorant people that complain how long its taking to get animals, take your damn time! The worst possible thing to do is to rush into getting an animal of any variety, pet or farm animal. I'm glad you've learned Morgan to take your time, while it was the hard way, you've still learned.
Randy is really cool looking and I can't wait to see his babies. You do understand that Randy is going to be too young to breed you Cattle this year. But come next year watch out. Peace from WV
Glad to hear Allison has made the connection with Randy Macho Man Savage (what a name,lol). Looking forward to seeing him on the farm with his new family, it's going to be interesting for sure. Thanks Morgan, good to see all is well at Gold Shaw Farm.
Randy MMS is wonderful. He will be a perfect addition to your farm. Boy, is dad is a stud in all sense of the word. Glad Allison is more comfortable with the whole idea of the cattle now.
I wish you did not have to deal with haters. Wish, they'd direct their hate towards worthy opponents, unite, and end mass-production of meat, for example. You are such a ray of sunshine in this crazy world, thank you ever so much from way over in Berlin, Germany, Europe, crazy world. It's unusually muddy here, too.

Thank you again for translating all the temperatures into celsius on screen! As a European, I really appreciate that! :D
Our pleasure!
For this Frenchman Fahrenheit makes more sense😮
Canada uses Celsius too, and we are the direct northern neighbor to the US, in case you didn't know!
@@reggievonramstein I use either, it makes no difference to me.
Yes, me too 😄👍🏼 (i always had to stop the video and google it 😵💫😆). Thanks Morgan! 😊
Randy's Dad is an absolute unit.
Looked like he has some black angus in his genes. But yeah a beast

@@jangrahame4891 why is that? Why can't a menstruating woman get close?
@@Shawnoob it can make the bull think their in heat and try to mate said woman which is dangerous for obvious reasons
@@jewels3256 Wow! I didn’t know that.
@@Shawnoob Good question 😊
Randy is a really handsome little bull! His color has darkened a lot. With the continued attention when he comes home, I believe you will have a darn good bull on your hands Morgan. Great video!
I hope so too!
A bull being easily handled is only part of the picture. The main thing is does he have good genetics, and a high sperm count.
@@harpintn I kindly agree.
Having a shoulder cat is one of my aspirations 😻
I used to have a shoulder cat but she got too big for my shoulder & doesn’t climb up there any more. I’m a little sad about that. Even if she lost a lot of weight, she’s a bit afraid of heights now & doesn’t like to jump.

I love how I can just sit down and watch his channel for hours because it's so calming and interesting. Go work!
Glad you enjoy it!
Randy is going to help model his love of being touched to your other cows. He's a sweet bonus to your farm on so many levels! Yay, Morgan!
I often wonder why Arial's acceptance of being touched, brushed and milked hasn't set an example for the other cows, including her calf, that being petted feels good.
It is so funny to see Ginny climb to your shoulders while you are chatting away and simply scratch her head like it is no big deal. Really cute!

Your gentle patience to slowly acclimate animals (and Allison) to each other will pay off in many happy ways.

Such a beautiful baby bull! Thanks for sharing this with us Morgan! :)
Thank you too!
I think our bull is a great ambassador for Highland bulls. When customers come out, he loves to get attention. People are cautious with him, and he is just like "give me scratches".
Randy has become even more beautiful since we last saw him. Looks like you found the perfect bull to learn with.
I think so too!
City raised people are so funny, they think everything in life is in the category "push a button and it materialize". On a farm, you have to deal with a lot of "unexpected", you have to adapt to weather, to animal development (each individual having it's own schedule, just as human children), etc.

YAY Allison!!! So great when she is in the videos! I also love that Allison has such an open mind and heart.
A chill leader makes for a chill herd. I used to watch another channel with Highlands, and they had one female that was super skittish, super angsty, and unruly. She constantly led the small herd in breaking through fencing, and kept them all in a state of high alert. She didn’t start out as the leader, but because the focus of the herd is survival, they kept deferring to her nonsense antics, and she became the leader by default.
The farmer got rid off that cow and the rest of the cows settled out nicely.
Best solution ? Off with her head !
Morgan. It is pretty obvious about the horns. You can't miss them. But being mindful of them and learning correct posturing around them then one could live with them. I think your approach to getting your wife acclimated with the idea of a bull on the farm has been great!

Morgan your new bull Randy is a lovely color. What a mixture that dark and auburn red will make when bred. Good luck with the breeding going forward.

I completely get how Allison is feeling, but at the same time I would trust you Morgan..Nice field trip.
My heart hurts, I think it actually skipped a beat, this is painfully cute.
Also I love seeing how much more confident you are about things after going through so much trial and error. You're doing great!
Great update Morgan! How exciting when your long sought after bull arrives though, and I'm thrilled to see Allison warming up to the idea of cattle. Safety first and enjoy the ride!
These videos just have the chillest vibe ever. Every single one of them

Aw 5:43 such a cute sight to see, such happy dogs!
My cat starts purring watching you brush the calves. ❤❤
That is awesome!
@@GoldShawFarmMorgan, I’m wondering if purring is similar to human laughing. Our diaphragm is bouncing along as we laugh. Is this how a purr is made.
Great planing Morgan , You are doing it right, Lots of things just need to take time, and them it happens
Hello Mary how are you doing,
where are you from?
Randy's hopefully going to show the others that getting fussed over and brushed is a very pleasant experience 😊
The suspense is killing meee! I'm so excited!
I love that you keep Abby dog and Toby dog outside, its where theyre meant to be. They need a job not a couch.
Ginny's all: "Imma just gonna climb up on ya." at the end.

Your dogs are meant to be outside. With the addition of Abby they are not lonely. Toby is doing what he is Breed for. He would be unhappy in the house. As for Abby I respect your decision to not breed her. You have done what is best for your farm and have huge ethics instead of making a quick buck. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Morgan, I know this is beside the point and I'm probably telling you what you already know but...your wife is an absolute beauty. Honestly. In a world of pretension, layers of makeup, implants, reveal-everything-clothing, filters and a general trend of gaudy glamour...Allison is just so refreshingly lovely.
Please ignore the ignorant people that complain how long its taking to get animals, take your damn time! The worst possible thing to do is to rush into getting an animal of any variety, pet or farm animal. I'm glad you've learned Morgan to take your time, while it was the hard way, you've still learned.
Randy's father is a such a majestic bull.
This is all pretty exciting stuff. I’m looking forward to all the changes coming up this year.
Don't forget to quarantine the bull calf for about two weeks when he comes to your farm! Keep going, love your videos!
S H B N C Morgan did actually address doing that very thing in this video. Well being in this new year
I saw the look from Allison towards the end of the vid (10:06); it said, "OK, I guess?"... but he's not living in the house, ever!
Best!
OMGosh that bull is sooooo cute ........... Morgan you picked a good one
exciting news! Thanks for keeping us in the loop
So much excitement to come! I can’t wait! Allison, you rock girl!
Allison is beautiful!!! It was bonding to us Followers to see you...we love you too, Allison, 🐂 soon your large baby will be home, lol..🌲🐂🐿🐾🌲
What a beautiful fluffy parrot you have on your shoulder.
I a really proud of Gold Shaw farm. You have come a long way over the years.
When your herd sees the bull being so friendly they'll follow the lead hopefully.
Thank you for sharing. Glad to see Allison. Can't wait for the rest of the herd to join your expanding family.
Your new little bull seems sweet. Glad Allison likes him. Morgan, you have lost a lot of weight. Looking good. 💞
You should look into the imprinting period for cattle. You wanna get your hands on them during that time. And that will help them be tame for life!
Randy's dad is a unit
I remember riding a bull named Peaches at WinRock Farm in Arkansas. I was about 8. Peaches was really sweet natured.
Hi..... Morgan and Allison nice to see you love watching your videos homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐩🐩🐈🐄🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
I love the name, Randy "Macho Man" Savage! Oh Yeah!!!! It brings back memories of my childhood watching WWF wresting.
Randy is really cool looking and I can't wait to see his babies. You do understand that Randy is going to be too young to breed you Cattle this year. But come next year watch out. Peace from WV
Glad to hear Allison has made the connection with Randy Macho Man Savage (what a name,lol). Looking forward to seeing him on the farm with his new family, it's going to be interesting for sure. Thanks Morgan, good to see all is well at Gold Shaw Farm.
I'm so excited for you and Allison on bringing your bull home.
Randy MMS is wonderful. He will be a perfect addition to your farm. Boy, is dad is a stud in all sense of the word. Glad Allison is more comfortable with the whole idea of the cattle now.
Hi Morgan! Could you balance out the super positive and supportive comments with the complaints please? Complainers getting way more attention😊
Awesome video👍👍 I can't wait to see the new cattle on the farm. Randy is a sweetheart. 🥰🥰
I wish you did not have to deal with haters. Wish, they'd direct their hate towards worthy opponents, unite, and end mass-production of meat, for example.
You are such a ray of sunshine in this crazy world, thank you ever so much from way over in Berlin, Germany, Europe, crazy world. It's unusually muddy here, too.
