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 can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

We're sold out of catnip for the year, but we still have lots of Pablo Barn Cat catnip shirts!

I love the juxtaposition of Morgan talking "lots of things could go wrong" with Abby dog sprinting like a crazy lady in the background.

By yourself plus you made the video by yourself. No horse, no cattle dog. No cameraman.
There are very few people that can move their cattle without amy help whatsoever.
Plus you show great understanding and skill to complete the move another day. I am impressed. Well done.

Morgan you mentioning this is your fourth winter moving the cattle hit me like a ton of bricks, I’ve been religiously watching your videos long than I thought. Time flies!

While other cattle farmers use cattle dogs, horses, cattle prods and a team of people to drive their herds, I like how you handle the animals. You put in the time and patience and get a good result as a reward. Your way of working cattle reminds me of the cattle herders in the Alps who look after their herds in the mountains all summer, often alone. They need a lot of patience and experience and they talk to their cattle a lot, too.

Can't believe how grown up Macho Man is now. He was such a darling baby! Hee! :-) Still seems pretty sweet.

There's something magical about watching cattle gallop and slurp spaghetti straw <3 - Dakota & Angela

“March, march, march ladies!” 12:12 I don’t know exactly why, but that made me laugh out loud! Always looking forward to your next videos! 😁
Edited to add: I was trying to get past some ladies talking in a store, and that phrase, in Morgan’s voice, popped into my head. It was all I could do not to burst out laughing. I’m pretty sure I had a smirk on my face as I went past though, just trying not to laugh.

Did you see the movie, Temple Grandin? It’s very good. She figured out that cows like to follow each other in a line. Maybe taking them up and down pasture on the other side where they’re against the fence on a more narrow path would work better. Use your ATV; put hay in back, along w/hanging blue buckets; stay in front; and lead them down. I think the way you did it was tricky bc you kept wanting to get behind them, and they had no idea where they were going nor why. But you did get them there so all is good.

Time for the Big Moove ! I love it when you talk about relationships and individual personalities of the cows. Especially as the herd grows ! Honestly at this point I'd watch a soap opera-like giant recap of who is who and likes who XD

Can’t stop thinking of this tune from an old western “Rawhide”where it went Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, Keep Them Doggies Rolling, 🤣. Might have been before your time, but it definitely gave me the giggles thinking about it. Well, looks like you were successful keeping those doggies rollin, and all on your lonesome. Thanks Morgan for taking us along🐂🐄🐄💕👍

I like the names you have for your cattle.

[judykinsman]

That was such a fun video to watch. You’re definitely coming into your own single handedly running your farm. Thanks for sharing!

[lynnpaulus]

"as soon as i get this sorted out, you are gonna go see your mom" sounds like a teacher telling a student to behave. LOL love you Morgan. you are a great farmer!

[anitanagahisa]

You can congratulate yourself for your hard work today.👍👍👍👍👍😄😄😄😄😄😄

[finnthecat]

*clenches fist* Don’t talk to Baby B like that! 😂 I just love your cows and how you’re able to work with them Morgan! Not always perfect, but what is? And you get the job done! ❤

I'm liking the goats more and more each episode. Larn especially seems like a pretty chill guy.

My neighbor worked with his cattle to be able to handle them with just a bucket. Even his massive brahma bull follows like a puppy. This came in handy when they got out one day while he was at work. I took the RTV over, put a few rocks in a bucket and called them. They followed me into his arena. I dropped the bucket and circled back to close the gate. It also came in handy when he wanted to bring them across the lane into my pasture to rotate and let his pasture rest.
