The Simple Joy of Farm Life

[@YankeeValleyOutdoors]

So, I've had a swollen lymph node on my neck for about 2 months. I went to the specialist the other day, and he told me it's most likely cancer. As you can guess, this news is very stressful. However, being at the homestead and doing chores puts my mind at peace. There is nothing more relaxing than being outside.

[@hitsujiyume]

i wish you as full and complete a recovery as possible!

[@lindaseel9986]

I pray for you to have a complete recovery. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕🌞🤗

[@YankeeValleyOutdoors]

@@hitsujiyume Thank you ❤️ I'm only 20 I should have a good Fighting Chance.

[@kathywelcing1340]

Good luck with your procedure. You are way too young for this.

[@freedomfighter4990]

Get a biopsy ASAP so you'll know for sure. I'll pray for you to make a full recovery.

[@RomanCancelRulez]

I love how Abby's all like, "Dad's back! Love me and pay attention to me!!!" while Toby Dog is all, "Move outta the way dad, gotta re-mark my territory!"

[@Aunty87]

Right?? Totally agree lol. Toby is definitely the epitome of a working dog and Abby is a perfect representation of a companion dog, who can learn a job for sure😂❤

[@beejls]

@@Aunty87 shes a pet. She doesn't have the temperament.

[@Pixiee_Stardust]

@@beejlsanimals do have their own temperament and emotions. There’s several scientific studies proving so plus, when you spend time with all of them you learn the different quirks and personalities they all have.

[@MoteOfDust430]

Thank you. As a person who has huge allergies to all things dander and pollen and dust it is a complete joy to watch you and your farm operate, the sounds the sights are awesome and I am spared the smells and itching. You rock Mr. Gold. And my heart hurts for your grief regarding Molly Murder Mittens. She was(is) an awesome being who was so lucky to have you and your beautiful wife to spend her life with. Much love and healing energies to you and yours ❤💔❤

[@knoahbody69]

That's great that you can live through the channel.

[@Berlin-gd1eb]

Try raw milk to eventually get rid of the allergies and exoerience a little farmlife by yourself.

[@MoteOfDust430]

Raw milk? I've tried experiencing farm in the past and suffered greatly. I'd be happy just to have a cat. I have no food allergies at all Dander, mites, and straw and hay puts me out of commission for a week. @@Berlin-gd1eb

[@piperleelee]

Blue skies and sunshine with tranquil animals sounds from the farm. Beautiful serene video, thank you.

[@tjj4lab]

Hands down my favourite video in a long time. Just watch animals living their best lives is endlessly entertaining. If you aren't feeling like coming up with episode scripts etc, this is fantastic idea. May these video persist even after your grief has subsided.

[@rlyman111]

Thanks! Brought back memories of 75 years ago of chickens, pigs and a cow that were all prolific producers to a poor farm family. What great, quite memories. Needed it, after being sick and now feeling better!

[@lindaseel9986]

Glad you are doing better. 🤗🌞

[@glomontero6011]

I know what you mean.

[@gabipo44]

Great video! Streamed it on TV to my mom, who doesn't speak a word of English... She was asking all sorts of questions and was like "How do you know all that? He's not saying anything!" I had to tell her the Morgan of GoldShawn farm story 😂

[@GoldShawFarm]

That warms my heart!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

@gabipo44 I love your comment. Please tell your mom hello from Central Florida. ❤

[@lindagardenlady]

Sometimes you just have to watch and listen! ❤❤❤ Glad your mom got a kick out of the video. My mom would have also

[@judykinsman3258]

That was such a zen video. Thanks Morgan. I think I sensed a Molly remembrance in that last porch scene, at least it did for me and I teared up.😢

[@Doylt]

And a helpful bite from Pablo to keep us all present!

[@Winterascent]

I admire a man who knows chores build both soul and character. The harder, the better and the greater the character.

[@urkiddingme6254]

Thanks for that. I needed the motivation to get outside and spread that 18 cubic yards of wood chips on my driveway. Been putting it off too long!

[@Aunty87]

My new 5 month old tortie kitten, Nadja is your new biggest fan❤❤ She's gets super close to the big screen to watch the chickens and you petting your cats. The ending had me tearing up because I feel your heart break with you. I still hope for Molly's safe return but if that cannot be, I wish peace for everyone. We love you. This was an amazing video. ❤❤ Sending the biggest hugs 🤗🐈‍⬛🐈🤗

[@mercy92399]

I must say you have a great talent for editing your videos. Very enjoyable. Thank you. The birds always quack me up. ❤️

[@finozbleck]

I didn't realize just how much I needed to listen to just farm sounds after a long day of work, university classes/homework and appointments. It helped me relax! Thank you!

[@ede-jomadden8182]

The ducks and geese are always talking -- I wonder what they're saying to each other -- Really enjoyed the farm chores -- there's such simple beauty all over the farm. take a closeup of the grasses and there's so much more there. Thanks, Morgan!

[@deb283028]

Noticed Abby was not wearing her e-collar during chicken training. She is progressing so nicely. Yay, Lady Abington!!!!

[@robynfree1558]

The cows were MONCHIN! So cute! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@zaug1561]

These are my favorite kind of videos you make. No drama, no politics, just good ol' farm life, plain and simple.

[@thomaswinters6586]

What a great video! So many youtubers yammer on and on but you realize that "silence is golden" when accompanied by beautiful scenery and the serenity of just observing a vast variety of animals. Keep up the great work!

[@Lonesome__Dove]

Theres a few channels i avoid like the plague because they talk entirely too much about absolutely nothing.

[@GoldShawFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thomaswinters6586]

@GoldShawFarm I'm currently on SSDI for depression and anxiety. Your videos are part of my private wellness regime. I've also used food as my go-to remedy, so your journey has been an inspiration to me. Thank you and your supporting cast and family for making a difference in others lives.

[@Dylan_Leafstorm]

Happy Monday Morgan! It’s amazing how the little things in life makes you feel accomplished throughout the day 😊

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Can I just compliment you on how well you care for your dogs' coats, Morgan? I am a dog groomer and I can tell a matted, stained white coat when I see one. Your two dogs coats look amazing! And don't get me wrong, it is SO easy for a dog of that colour and coat type to get into that state, when they do what they do. But it takes a lot of work to keep them from getting that way. The coat of the Maremma is design to shed dirt, but when it gets as wet and muddy as your two's do, then it takes a lot of brushing to ensure that coat dries all the way through, so it doesn't mat and stain. Once a coat is stained, there is little way to get it white again, just pain-staking grooming and waiting for the stained areas to shed out. Usually, when I see any working dog walk in my front door (I groom many working farm dogs,) I can tell without touching their coat if it has mats. I had to spend nearly four hours, last week, preparing a Newfoundland for transport to another country and she could not go in the state that she was. There is too much that a matted coat hides (fungal infection of the skin, ectoparasites, invasive plant seeds, invasive microscopic organisms) and these could prove to be a phytosanitary risk.

[@Meeker128-Amy]

I've never groomed a working farm dog. Thanks for the info!

[@juliemcgugan1244]

@@Meeker128-Amy You've got to find one with experience, who knows the way to properly work with a double-coated dog (most working breeds are double-coated; it helps to protect them from the elements,) so that you don't end up with something disastrous like a shaved-down dog. A decent groomer will know you never shave a dog with a double coat, except in very few, emergency situation, when there is no other choice. But a well-cared-for breed should never need this, apart from in a few medical circumstances.

[@shAnn0n1]

It's a time to sit still and JUST watch and listen! Even my pup's head popped up to listen to this video!! Great moment Morgan, thk you!

[@bkm2797]

Beautiful morning to get the farm chores done. I see you are preparing for winter with the feed for the cows, time is passing quickly for sure. Thanks for sharing Morgan, hope you have a Great Day!

[@cloverhighfive]

After the morning work drama (Mondays, right? remember those lol), nothing better than a quiet farm life video to keep me company for lunch. Very meditative.

[@annam1349]

Hi Morgan!! Much love to you, allison, and your farm!! (esp. toby dog)

[@birkenwald1337]

These are my favourite videos. The animals, the sounds it‘s just soooo nice. Would love to get more of these

[@dj_cat_mama]

Just got my book yesterday. Over half done already! Finish this afternoon! Can’t wait.

[@ericpetitclerc5519]

You're one of the best story teller of KZbin, but the odd "Gold Shaw Farm moment of Zen" is nice too! Thank you! (Just a bit sorry that you are still down one barn cat...)

[@davidmachemer1015]

That was like a Weird Chicken Moment of Zen for the whole farm! I feel like you're responding to my cheeky comment about how I tune in to see the animals more than you (by which I meant not to worry about being sad about Molly - I still enjoy seeing the animals). And I miss Molly too, so it was extra heart warming to see Ginny on the cow marshmallows and Pablo come to sit on your lap. ❤

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Morgan, this is one of my favorite videos. I enjoyed following along on your farm chores and listening to the sounds of the farm. 🥰 The firewood stacked on the porch and the hay delivery looks like you are ready for winter. My heart hurt seeing only two cats coming to breakfast. Molly Murder Mittens is missed. 💝 Take care and Happy Fall 🍁🎃🍂🍁

[@jenniferr2057]

Heart AND soul benefited. Your's AND mine. Thank you.

[@brandymarx2525]

Really enjoyed this video. I enjoy your stories too, but it's nice to just see the farm animals and you doing your chores

[@EileenGoehring-lb8hy]

Hi Morgan from U.K. love the Quacks running around with full crops 🦢🦤🐔♥️🤣and a lovely Morning 🙂

[@jenniferk4083]

I love these videos Morgan! So peaceful and beautiful watching all your happy animals. I especially loved Abby being so excited for pets and Toby zipping past you to pee 😂 had me chuckling out loud.

[@OW79]

Porch moments with the cat are precious

[@lynnkhosla6277]

Morgan, I love this video. It's interesting that "pastoral" means both 'relating to farms/cows/sheep' and 'concerning spiritual guidance.' I hope the peace of your farm comforts your soul.

[@babyboomersue4250]

After losing a dear family member, this has been a wonderful comfort and equalizer. Thanks.

[@matthewlang8555]

Awesome video. I'm not really sure why, but I like it when you use your tractor. One tip. As a former freight warehouse owner... Drop the hay near the trailer so the hay driver can leave sooner. You'll have all the time you want after he's gone to drive back and forth stacking it, and he gets to do more deliveries in shorter time.

[@GoldShawFarm]

Good tip!

[@mustanglady7843]

It was a joy to watch all the animals eating! Not only eating but their joy in being fed. Much to be thankful for as you care for your animals and farm.

[@wendyweaver8749]

Loved the video and all of the activities and chores! Hint: Pablo probably bit you as a reminder that he, like most cats, enjoy full-hand stroking along their backs to the tail, but not scratching with fingers. It is the same for cats who present their stomachs for attention: stroke with a hand, do not scratch with fingers.

[@jrsf222]

YOU HAVE A HEART OF “SOUL”….and that’s why your channel grows‼️⭐️

Nature's sweet narration 😊. So meditative. Love your narration too Morgan. Both are refreshing. Such a lovely day for it. ❤

Such a wonderful zen moment! And a beautiful memorial for Molly Murder Mittens! 🐈‍⬛ Be well, friend. 😢❤

[@lindafox-gilbert551]

I will be watching and re-watching this, like so many of your videos. This one is one long, gorgeous zen. The beautiful shots are carefully planned, even though they appear smooth and effortless, and you have given us hints of the care it takes to set them up. This video is indeed joyful, with showers of other emotions. Thank you for the gift.

[@dianad0523]

I just found your Channel and was so Psyched to see you are in Peacham because I love that area. I used to live in Sheffield. I grew up in Connecticut and lived in VT for a couple of years but the cold was too much for me! 😂 This Flatlander lived off the grid in a Tiny cabin built in the 1960s that used to be a hunting cabin . It was a weekend getaway until I got divorced and moved there. After a winter with a ton of snow and it got down to -30 degrees I had enough! 😅 Peacham is so Pretty. My parents and I went to a craft show on the green. Then we drove around and as we were looking at 2 Beautiful Horses in a field we saw a couple of Moose! Got lots of pic of the two . I love your farm and Im so sorry about your Kitty. This video was Awesome ❤❤❤❤

[@CeliaHakusho]

Thank you for this video. I was checking my blood pressure. And typically, it takes a some time as you need to do at least three times spread out a few minutes apart. The first time I did it, it was pretty high. I started watching this video. The second time I checked, it dropped instantly. The third time, I was in normal range. Farm life sounds is a great way to decompress and puts one at ease.
