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.

10 things I love about you: 1) You take a sustainable approach to farming. 2) You genuinely care about your animals. 3) When you see harmful practices you take a stand against them. 4) You're a great storyteller. 5) You share your mistakes so that others can learn from them. 6) You listen to what your audience has to say. 7) Your positive and upbeat personality. 8) You're not afraid to show your emotions. 9) You appreciate punk rock! 10) Your politics. Bonus: Toby Dog!

You having ADHD, if anything, has made your videos more enjoyable from my standpoint. I have ADHD too, and it's great to see someone doing something they genuinely enjoy, communicating in a way that resonates, and not being overly concerned with what other people think. If you have ADHD, pleasing people is an impossible task anyway. We just are "built different" as the zoomers say.

[@janetyurkin822]

I’m 79 and the older I get the more I realize how unimportant it is worry about impressing people or caring whether people like me. The more I’m around people the more I like animals. I’ve lived on 14 acres in western Pa. for the past 52 years. I sit on my patio and watch deer, wild turkeys, foxes, in our field. This summer I watched 6 fawns born this spring growing up and becoming adults. I sit here and look at the leaves on the trees changing colors as we get deeper into fall. I only see my neighbors houses in winter when the leaves are off the trees. We basically live and let live, but if we need any help all we have to do is ask.

[@BlackSeranna]

People: You’re not a farmer! Also the same people: “I inherited my daddy’s farm so I’m a farmer!” If you work on a farm, raising animals for food, you’re a farmer. You started from zero and have worked up to this. Imagine if you had inherited a couple thousand acres? I once had a man tell me my mom ran a “hobby farm”. The moment it left his lips, he knew he said wrong. That farm fed us my whole life. We didn’t have much money for anything else, but it fed us better food than you can buy in a store. I am not a farmer now, and I can’t find the grass fed pork we grew up on, pigs raised out in the sun, eating grass and the non-gmo corn we gave them twice a day. It was gooood pork. Our chickens were also off the best table quality. Some people just like to put down others.

Here are 10 things I LOVE about Morgan Shaw... 1. He seems kind, certainly evidenced by his reaction when one of his animals die. 2. His approach to farming is ethical. 3. He followed his dream. 4. His videos educate and entertain. 5. His relationship with his wife seems so cooperative and loving. 6. Ducks, geese, chickens, and furry furry cattle! Wow! 7. I'm in agreement with his viewpoint on hound hunting. 8. His relationship with Tobby Dog, now Abby, too, and his adorable barn cats. 9. His candor...opening up about his ADHD and other struggles. 10. SO industrious and focused on his farming goals There's more I like and appreciate, but I promised only 10 (and if he reads this, I'd not want to embarrass the man with my gushing.)

[@updated_autopsy_report]

hey man, seeing anyone with this level of self awareness is hard to come by and I do respect you for a lot of the things you mentioned, as well as your willingness to continuously improve as a person and improve on what you do.

[@charlottemajewski5992]

Toby especially is not just a farm implement, he is a pet and a beloved member of your family. It is completely normal for you to be grief stricken even contemplating the eventual demise of your sweet dog. I would be more appalled if you indifferent to tge idea. Your love for animals is one of the things i like and respect about you.

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

When Toby, Pablo, other farm work animals eventually pass, I say we should help Morgan put a memorial on the farm if possible.

[@AB-ol5uz]

I knew within 2 weeks of adopting my great pyr that I would be a hot mess when her time came. I was fortunate to have her for almost 6 years and I was right....very hot mess. Some animals grab your heart in irreplaceable ways and Toby has become that for Morgan and many in his audience.

Morgan, dont apologize for your farming methods. You had enough sense to realize what your limitations were and take things one at a time. Your attitudes towards your land, crops, and especially your animals represents the best of organic farming objectives and animal husbrandry.

[@ladygrey4113]

Also, it’ll probably do him good in the long run (especially if this farm gets passed down for generations) it’ll ultimately be healthier farmland that doesn’t strip the soil within a few growing seasons.

[@rodisham]

Organic, conventional, sustainable. You name the type and size of farm and they are continually drawing closer together on values, practices, and standards. A weaknesses exposed by the pandemic is no farming model in this country can feed its surrounding region. Small diversified farms produce limited amounts of many products. Larger specialized farms produce high volumes of three or less products. Neither does a great job of providing for the community. The farmers don’t solely hold that dilemma. The processors and retailers are equally challenged. All are dependent on a global distribution system that is current strained beyond any conceivable estimates prior to March of 2020.

I feel ya on the ADHD. I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my late 20s, and all my other siblings have been diagnosed for it as well. The only people in my family that haven't been diagnosed are my parents, and I'm pretty sure they have it as well. Also, why does it bother people so much if people don't have kids? Is it like a "I had kids and was miserable so I want you to be miserable too" sort of thing (not to imply that kids always make people miserable, some are great, but it's not for everyone, y'know)?

Morgan, I just be at peace knowing there are a lot of people including myself that DO NOT hate you and have no reasons to hate you. I think you're great, so here are 10 reasons to love you: 1. You aren't afraid to fail 2. You are honest, and share your mistakes 3. You care so deeply about your animals and show emotion for them. 4. You care about the environment and actively make decisions to support it. 5. You take responsibility of a lot of lives, including those that do not belong to you. 6. You are a genuinely kind person when responding to fans. 7. You are respectful to those who aren't kind to you, but you also manage to tell them where their place is and when they cross the line. 8. Your hyper-focus means when you get stuff done, you do it WELL or try again. 9. You try new things: cows AND bees!! 10. You're fantastic at training Toby to do his job, and for your flock to go to bed. Not many people succeed in these feats and that's not to be pushed aside! We love you Morgan as a human. Keep being authentic.

Being emotional about your animals shows you care about and love them. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with mourning or worrying about their health. I think that separates the people who care just about profit from the people who genuinely have a passion for what they do.

[@BH1-BH1]

It is my experience that people typically don't like qualities in others that are either over represented or under represented in themselves. So it isn't really you or your qualities they don't like. They don't like the abundance of quality or need for more of the quality in themselves. You are just a mirror for them. An adaptive response would be to take a look at themselves and make needed changes instead of lashing out at you which is just hurtful, pointless,, and unnecessary. You are a farmer. You are entertaining. Your love and respect for animals and the environment is admirable. Your desire to teach others and make a difference is amazing. Your willingness to put yourself out here and so graciously address negative feedback speaks volumes of what a quality person you are. Please keep doing what you are doing. Many of us only see the good in you and what you are doing. You are appreciated.

My grandparents have always been farmers their whole lives. To me a farmer is someone who grows their own food. They raised their own meat and had a garden. They hade 5 acres of land and that’s all they needed. I wasn’t aware there was a perceived definition other than raising and growing your own food. Crazy.

[@catsj1767]

Unfortunately, it not what capitalism makes farmers who want to succeed. Not what our 5 Nebraskan representatives sell out our farmers to. Farmers are doing ok. Yet, in the 1980’s being a farmer one was on welfare to make ends meet. The price of a combine, tractor, trucks, land gas inflation skyrocketed. One cannot begin a farm /have to inherit it. Plus the pressure to be socially keeping up with the Jones. Not possible. My dad worked 2 jobs all his life. Helping his dad with the farm, owning and selling land himself and loaning money to farmers. He’s retired at 80 to do farming and to keep my mom with the care she needs. Those are my memories.

[@katesgardenchickencatrambl7680]

I've come to your channel just in the last month. I found this video very validating, as I have many of those same qualities. I am a lousy marketer, and my self confidence could be so much better, and even as I am a little bit older than you are, and don't truly care about others opinions of me, it can still get to me. My ADHD was found late in life, and never having been diagnosed, or truly knowing why I had some qualities about myself I could recognize and hate added to my depression. Which I manage very well, thank you, but I have days. Knowing I was ADHD helped me not hate myself for past actions and disappointments. I came to understand myself better just with that clinical diagnosis. I am an introvert, and I am new to videoing myself, but I can ramble on, as I'm easily distracted, my mind goes "90 miles a minute" as my mom used to say. But, you talking about this list was cathartic for me in a way, and I'm sure it was for you. I have never wanted kids, don't particularly care for them, but have lots of pets. I have drawn so much hate for those two facts. But it is those 2 facts I have been honest about since I was a child. I live a very isolationist life, in a very small town in a very small state. And the COVID issues you hade no problem with, I don't either. My life really didn't change, except the mask issue. It made my rosacea flare. Otherwise, the mask saved me on lip balm, and make-up on those very rare social outings, and I could avoid my pet peeve in folks with really bad breath talking to me. LOL . So, this is long winded, but I just wanted to say Thanks! for just being and embracing YOU!

[@rickdalton6272]

I love that you present your farm and life running it with ups and down, joys and lows-it makes your farming relatable because I feel like it's very honest

Aloha from Maui! I joined your channel 2 ish weeks ago and I must say, it's one of my favorite channels to watch! I started with your most recent videos and working my way backwards in time. I'm a retired RN that moved to Maui 10 years ago from Portland Oregon and dont miss Portland one bit. Other than my kids and grandkids. Anyway, I wanted you to know that your "emotional-ness", your compassion and empathy towards animals, your environment, your lovely wife, is refreshing and im so proud of you that you took a leap to live the life you dreamed of! Watching this video pisses me off at ppl. That they feel the need to judge you and point out things that (obviously) they have personal issues with about themselves. Are we not only mirroring ourselves in others? My gramma used to say that to me. And we are usually are own worst critics so we don't need anyone else's 2 cents! I think you're awesome! You're probably so busy with all your duties you won't see this but if ya do gimme a 👍🏼 so I know ya heard me! Oh, I love your sense of humor too! Love RELEASE THE QUACKIN!😆😆🤙🏽Oh, love Toby and Abby too! ♥️♥️♥️Mahalo for sharing all you're experiences and sharing your life's ups n downs!👍🏼

Think it’s easier to think of 10 things I like about you. -You learn from your mistakes -You’re a good animal dad -You do your best to make life better for your animals -you do your best for your partner -you do a great job with editing your videos -your taste in music is awesome -you’re not an asshole -you take your role seriously as a farmer and “entertainer” on youtube and know what you say matters -you try to make the world a better place in small ways - you do well at showing the best parts of humanity and being warden to the land and the lives you interact with And doing your best is really all that matters.

By the time I get there I've forgotten again. Sigh. I know certain medications that I've had to use during some of my other many medical treatments that shuts that thought tornado right off and I can focus and for a few days after those treatments I get an amazing amount of stuff done. But the medications are not normally used for this particular issue so of course can not be prescribed for said issues. Hugs Sarah I hope you grab hold of your life and ride it around like you're in charge. Oh my. The longer I listen to mr shaw.

It never ceases to surprise how honest you are. I resonated with a lot of the stuff on your list and know they are also things people dislike me. But being honest to who are is more beneficial to your own well-being and that can upset others as they expect you to bend to their perceptions. You can’t please everybody and you shouldn’t have to. So just keep being yourself and know there are many people out there, like myself, who respect and admire the person you are.

As someone who also has ADHD, AND an introvert I also am severely disorganised and am bad at getting back to people and to get in touch with, so I can relate with you a lot. I'm also hyper emotional and get hyperfocused on things as well. I think people misunderstand, introverts aren't against talking and its hard to get us to shut up sometimes, its that we get socially drained when around people we don't want to be with. Hearing all of this, I feel like we have a lot in common, stay strong and don't let the hate get you down. You're great the way you are!

Honestly it's incredibly positive for you to cry openly on camera and present it as it is: Normal and natural expression of emotions. People don't see enough men crying, and it's a great example to show men and boys that you don't have to box in your emotions like a robot. We often tell men that anger is the only acceptable emotion to display, and it's awful.

I cry myself sometimes, why the hell would I mock or leave him because he cries? That's not to say that in case of a breakup, I would change my mind on breaking up if I saw him cry. Breakups happen for a reason, not out of impulse, so at that point, crying or not crying, won't matter. I might cry while being the one that wants to break up. If you cried when your partner left you, they didn't leave because you cried. Something else was wrong in the relationship.

Genetically speaking, we are the same gene set that were cave dwellers 15,000 yrs past. Each of us is a representative of a successful gene combination which had roles they were particularly adept at. Could it be the ADHD folks stayed up all night fashioning the next generation of slings an arrows all the while tuned into the night noises and guarding the cave entrance? Did ADHD people calculate 100 chess moves of the distribution of hunters as they approached game and select the optimal strategy? Did ADHD people try countless methods of essential extractions to find which root was the best antiseptic? Who has declared ADHD people as being Not the Norm? Is it the vocal, boisterous, hands-on aggressive, easy to rile type? Hmmm. Point is, with the cave select analysis we all have reasons to be here. Check out "Quest for Fire". Do it.

[@IsThatEtchas]

@@nightsailor1 Personally, as someone with severe ADHD. Without medication, I am incapable of keeping up with even basic self-care tasks. Fashioning arrow slings isn't going to go well when I make careless mistakes, forget things I already know, stare at a project for hours unable to complete it. Listening to night noises wouldn't be great when I completely zone out and forget what I'm doing. My lack of dopamine without meds affects my life in a negative way. I am not functional without them. I wouldn't be functional as a cave dwellers where a single stupid mistake can kill you.

I am an introvert also, and have the gift of gab, so always thought that meant I was an extrovert. It wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I discovered that I am not. Like you, I like whom I like, but in my case, I like to talk to many in public (get it out of my system), them pull back, go back to where I keep my world small, where I feel in control and comfortable.

I love how you have them trained to come out in the mornings and go to bed at night. There are channels that I am somethimes screaming at the TV for the person to get to the point already. I love your stories, your thoughts on certain things that have come up , ie hunting on your farm, people cutting in line and knowing they know and are not wanting to say oops and get inline.
