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

From an ancient who grew up in Canada on a 100 acre farm with cattle, here's today's tip. Cows have only one udder and generally four teats (from which the baby calf drinks). Love your videos, Morgan. Lets me reminisce the 'old days'.

[@julielumsden5184]

Now is the time to get your newborns comfortable with human touch. The babies arriving is so exciting

U can tell Toby is super happy to have a friend like him there 😀

[@donnaml8776]

Morgan, from what I understand do NOT give it a couple of days. Calf’s can die if they don’t get that first milking. But you probably already know how he’s doing since these videos are usually old. But when a calf is first born there’s colostrum in the mama’s milk that he needs NOW. From what I read within the first 24 hours after birth.

[@nikkireigns]

Yes, colostrum is crucial. Also doesn't hurt to dip the belly button

[@karlchenmuller4059]

I just checked their Instagram account and they are all fine and doing great 👍

[@extraslayar4585]

In the video he showed interest in feeding off the mom. If that wasnt the case and there was signs of neglect yea. But if both mom and kid are around each other and getting contact with each other it most likely will be okay.

[@HorsesIC]

@@extraslayar4585 Colostrum can run out before the baby is even nursing, just latching isn't good enough.

[@lisajones2430]

That's great on your first calf! It never fails that if it's snowing or super cold and the barometric pressure changes your gonna have a calf born. One winter we had calves dropping like crazy and actually brought 2 calves in my basement to stay at night and taken out in the morning. My hubby had to help clean them up cause it was freezing on the calves faster then momma could do. One even had frost bit ears cause of the bad weather. Watch for pneumonia. Make sure you have some milk replacer and bottles on hand. We have Angus and Hereford cattle and sometimes put vest on the Calves if they need it. Just watch the others don't try to hurt him. Good luck!

[@kazzicup]

Adorable baby calf. I would have gone with him in the barn for two hours. To cuddle him and keep him warm. ❄❄❄❄❄ A chilly day to be born on.

[@MCugs]

The calf is better outside with fresh air than in the barn. They're lower to the ground and more sensitive, and that's how they get respiratory problems and develop pneumonia. Also for your next calves, watch them to make sure they're nursing within 24 hours and getting enough colostrum. Also start considering milking out colostrum and freezing it.

[@dairyfarmer726]

How is he going to milk her if she has never let him handle her, let alone touch her teats? He also has no milking stand and I'm guessing that he has never milked any farm animal before. All that we have seen him do in his videos is lead them (more or less) by giving them Alfalfa cubes, refill their manger with hay bales and refill their water; nothing else. I'm not trying to be negative, but when it comes to his cattle and their care, I really think Morgan is in way over his head. He strength is with raising birds.

[@slidenapps]

Good luck on that with those cows

[@Rabdom50]

You can tell an animal feels safe in it's environment when it just pops out a baby without causing an actual ruckus. They certainly like it on the farm and are alright with Morgan and the dogs. Also very good in listening to your mentor. People forget how instinctual motherhood is to a LOT of animals, especially cows. She did the birth just fine by herself, so she'll know what to do. Plus, she'd probably be a better guard dog than Toby right now 😂😂 I used to hang at a family members farm, where the 80 acres that was closed in for the long horned cattle. Those mom's could and would downright want to kill you if you got too close to a newborn.

[@Fenthule]

right? you can also tell she trusts Morgan a lot by letting the newborn approach him and even get pets and head scritches from him.

[@laurakastrup]

As someone who owned Scottish highland cattle, one of our females after given birth tipped over our tractor because apparently it was too close to the baby. Nobody was on it. We just noticed that my dad was laughing because when he got back from filling the cow feed and water, the tractor was tipped over

BABY HIGHLAND BABY HIGHLAND my Nana and I went to Scotland afew years ago. It was her first time visiting is spring, and my first time in Scotland ever. So the first place we stayed was a farm. We drove up and in the middle of the driveway, is a herd of highlands. And out from between is a pair of calfs. It was the first time my Nana had ever seen a highland calf. Great start to a great trip.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Nice! Where-abouts did you go? It’s very all very beautiful country! My Grandad’s family moved from County Antrim in Ireland to Glasgow in the 1890s and settled in the Strathclyde area, where they were miners and plate-fitters. My Grandmother’s family was from a little village called Torphichen in West Lothian, where my Great Aunt and Godmother still lives ’til this day.

[@xTreeCow]

Congratulations on the new calf! I've always found Highlands to be my favorite type of cattle. My first thought for names was Sir Blitzington or if it is a female, Miss Blitzy. The short name of Blitzy just stuck in my head. Anywho, congratulations again and can't wait to see more calves for your herd.

[@deebri0]

I like the idea of “b” names for the second generation. A few ideas (for this, or the soon to be born calves): Burberry Bennet Bentley Byron Bucky Blueberry Buster Bonnie/Bonnibelle Basil Brody/Brodie Brodrick Beagan Berkley Bearnard/Bernie/Bernadette (There’s a few, solid Scottish ones in there, lol)

[@dorifrance4937]

It is a fun to watch the new mamas and babies Also, the cows usually look after all the babies in the herd, and the babies can become little moochers, drinking from all the mamas as they get older. They are so cute.

It might be wise to get a baby calf bottle with some colostrum mix and top him off just in case . Especially it being cold and burning off alot of energy as I notice he was shivering Abit.

you need to get ear tags for you calves so you know who the are. keep the cows and neutrer the bulls to prevent inbreeding in your herd. you need to set a game cam so you will know when the other cows have there calves and make sure that you have the vet on dial

[@donring]

Great video, loved Abby hopping over the fence. I think most herbivores give birth at night(maybe an evolutionary thing to give better protection from predators) so get ready for some more night time births, on my dad's dairy farm long ago it seemed like that.

[@mildredthegoat8340]

As the new calf's mother is Anne of Green Gables, maybe it should be named after one of her children. She had 6 children in the book Rainbow Valley, so plenty of scope for the imagination! I like Jem or Walter if it's a boy, or maybe Diana or Rilla if it's a girl.

[@robertlarson7224]

Unfortunately none of Anne of Green Gables' children have a B name. All the first generation have A names, all the second generation will have B names, etc. At least, if he's still sticking with the naming scheme he's previously established.

She could be named Blythe since Anne of Green Gables married a boy named Gilbert Blythe. A boy could have been Barry for Anne’s best friend Diana Barry.
