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.

That's a red fox!! Very cool. Great video.

Definitely not a coyote, that's a beautiful red fox displaying its beautiful, thick, winter coat. Their coats thicken up in the winter to help withstand the colder temperatures.

Morgan! I have a friend who lost a hand from clearing snow from a snow packed snow blower. It had a bunch of tension built up. It was locked and when he removed enough snow….😢. I am only posting “dreaded advice” because of risk of maiming. Going back to minding my own business now.

pro tip from a horse girl. with cutting the plastic of the haybale make X ontop of the bale and slice it al the way down. now you can peel the 4 plastic flaps down and grab the bale with your tractor. now your plastic is all in one piece

Grandpop kept an area on the edge of his farm that was his "rabbitat" where he would pile brush, etc. to make it a good home for mice and rabbits to feel the coyotes. He felt they were territorial and a resident pack was a good way to keep other packs away. The locals knew where the food was easy and they didn't bother trying to get through the fencing.

Your coyote identifies as a fox. No judgment 😅

Please don’t put your hand in the snow packed snow blower. When I was in the hospital years age, I had a roomie who put her hand in it, with it off and when the tension was relieved, it moved and amputated her fingers. I do love your channel by the way

Beetlejuice jumped on that hen and I swear I heard Michael Keaton yelling "It's SHOWtime!"

Not a coyote, a red fox, and it was probably looking for a free meal from the chicken coop!
Also, get yourself a slinky water hose. When done using it throw it in a 5 gal bucket and keep it in a warm spot. No need to worry about draining it!😁

That there coyote sure looks like a fox...
Also, Morgan, I just want to say it's great watching someone else with adhd actively working through it. Life might be full of little failures, but the important thing is that you're succeeding at the bigger picture!

Stoked the fox gets to continue improving the ecosystem while enjoying some popularity. Beautiful footage and the sunrise was a gorgeous capture also. Cheers

I'm a pest controller in Scotland! Rule1:in Learn your Enemy! None native species!! Load of 🤎🦴💩!! Red fox are one of the most prolific and adaptive vulpids on this planet! Red Foxes don't respect county lines or need passports!! My Grandad taught me a valuable lesson, by saying "Close the birds up every night, because Foxy checks every night!! And they go mental if they do get in...Cache Kill! Worth the watching.. All the best Morgan!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Always happy to see Toby and Abby greet you! Their excitement is contagious. And Alfred's granite retaining wall looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your farm and accomplishments with us!

Morgan, two things. That was a fox and secondly you mentioned the ashes in the compost. You are absolutely right, ashes equal potash which is the K in fertilizer. So throw all the ashes you want on the bird straw and compost it, it will be great compost.

[craigk.]

That was a fox! It is cute that Toby and Abby want to be with the cows. The animals are always so funny!

[MichelleJacobcik]

I like how you see your farm as an ecosystem that includes a beautiful red fox.
