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.

Wow returning to this video after watching your newest Day in the Life really puts into perspective all the hard work you've put into the farm over the years. It's been great coming along for the ride- thank you so much for sharing this journey with us.

Throw a few Guineas in the mix, they love to eat ticks and are cheap insurance against them.

@@lorineidtinytoadplot744 they are good at that! They make constant noise and it's shrill. I don't hate my neighbors that much, 2-3 quackers are fine for me. Guineas and geese need to be on an isolated farm. I use 7 dust Spring and Fall on the yard area the animals use to keep fleas and ticks down to a minimum.

I find his antics amusing, riding his dirt bike along the tree line to TRY to scare the horses. he finally figured out that if they 'can't' see him its way scarier. so now he hides in the bushes and bangs on trash cans around 5:30 ish am. 'I've taken to recording him now.' This all started because my dog shit on his lawn & pulled the foam out of his wife's riding helmet, I picked up the shit and offered to pay for the helmet. this happened 5 years ago when my dog was a puppy and it only happened once. They have money & live in a log home out in the country, drives a huge truck, with not a scratch on it and he's only about 5' 7" lol he's the safety manager at work with a safety vest and hard had that never gets dirty / hair gelled up all perfect heading to work in his shinny truck.

[@UnclePutte]

Goose morning calistechnics. The hop-and-flap. The rampant quackery never ceases to amuse me. And the pollen puff sequence was very relaxing. Keeping the ticks doesn't hurt, since you can pass them over for a lab test if you start showing symptoms. At that point, though, I guess it's more an act of vengeance combined with community service rather than actual relief.

I actually want to avoid haying because it is simply stripping fertility from the land by cutting the hay and taking it offsite. In the past, I've had friends come and rotationally graze sheep and cattle. I might do that again. I prefer that because it means adding additional fertility to the land.
