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.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but you absolutely need to make Barn Cat of the Year plaques to put on the wall of the barn, Morgan. I think that would be super cute and hilarious at the same time.

For someone that has claimed in the past to be more of a dog person, you sure seem to love your kitties an awful lot. 😻

Ginny purring and trotting around is hysterical but also adorable.

I love watching Ginny’s elegant little paws when she’s being cameracat

Molly gets extra props for the weasel! Weasels, mink, etc. are serious threats to cats as well as to the poultry.

The whimsical manner of your content and story-telling brings joy to my life.

As far as I'm concerned, they're ALL Barn Cats of the Year! Congratulations Molly Murder Mittens, you're top cat!

[catherinehubbard]

That is an awesome T-shirt. The third eye in the center of her forehead may explain how Molly always spots the rodents no matter how they hide. Extra points for getting the weasel; they’re neat animals but they are determined poultry killers.

Those are very respectable numbers! You have an impressive security team! Two huge growlers/bouncers and three watchers/assassins.

I wonder how Molly keeps those mittens so nice and white, you know, what with all the murderin'.

Good to see the other barn cats getting an opportunity for the spotlight. Pablo deserves a hall of fame or lifetime achievement award at some point. So can your hoop coop issue be resolved by improving the grading on the sides? Sounds like a question for My Buddy Alfred. Hope you do a barn build video at some point.

As a Molly, I will be buying this shirt. Good job, Cat Molly!

First Place-Molly Murder Mittens, Second Place-Ginny Barn Cat, Third Place-Pablo Barn Cat and Honorable Mention-Lil House Cat. This is my guess. They all provide a vital role at Gold Shaw Farm. They all deserve to have a win spot.

This cracked me up! I too am not a "cat person" but that didn't stop me from getting every Feral Cat on our street fixed when I retired. Of course they then adopted us. I also call them "The Assassins", believe me they earn their title. Being city cats they are heavy on the lizard kills. I never thought about a competition between the 9 of them though, that might be fun. Enjoyed the video. peace

Congratulations to all the hardworking barn cats! They provide mice control and a little luv ❤️

My parents used to have a barn cat, no farm but we lived in an older house on a ranch down in Texas. He was some kind of maine coon mix, not a huge cat but bigger than average. He was an outside only cat until one day he was bitten by a rattle snake. It was terrible to watch him go through it but somehow with vet care he bounced back, 2 weeks later there was a dead rattlesnake on our doorstep. And that's how our old cat Baby earned his place as an indoor outdoor cat, coming and going as he pleased. I have no idea how he managed to kill it, that was an outlier though. Most of the time he took care of mice, rats and unfortunately the occasional rabbit. I say unfortunate but it was pretty fortunate for my mother's garden.

I really enjoy your channel. In this day an age of so much dark stuff your channel is light hearted and informative and relaxing. I mean nothing can be all rainbows and unicorns always but over all your channel is a calm in a storm for me.

[davidklein]

"I'm not a cat person." When I hear that I always think you mean "I'm an animal lover and don't have a favorite". You honestly show just the same amount of love to the dogs, barn cats, cattle, and even the birds. Most cat people I know favor cats over other animals especially dogs, so I can I see why you'd say you're not a cat person.

[rosiedepetro]

Congratulations Molly. Morgan, I have to admit that at my age (67) you said something that totally threw me for a loop. I had to go to my best friend Google to find out what the heck was a vole. Yep you heard that correctly. Lol. Hello to Alison & hope she's doing good. Take care

[bernadettemenard]

NOW i know why i love watching these videos so much, you're a Vermonter!! I'm a Vermonter too!! I moved away from Vermont in 2012 and really really miss home, so watching your videos gives me comfort and reminds me of home. Please keep up the good life in Vermont.
