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.

... Anyone who's being hyper critical of what is and isn't working at Goldshaw is missing the point; with Morgan's professional history, he could have made this into a paid course or otherwise monetized the information he provides yearly for free, but he hasn't. He's just being transparent about what is or isn't happening on his farm, which is incredible data to reflect on if you're going to attempt something identical (social media/local brand development + small farming operation).

Morgan I love the fact that you're using as much of the ""byproduct" from your animals as possible. The feathers and soap may not be huge money earners, but every little bit helps and less of the animal gets wasted. EDIT: trading pork for salsa and beer sounds like an awesome trade to me!!!

Thinking about your reasoning around the Ducks and chickens, they are a huge part of keeping a healthy ecosystem for the other animals on the farm. The ducks are keeping the flea and tick population down which is an added bonus for the other animals, especially Abby and Toby, although Toby did get bit, you can imagine how much more often he would if the ducks weren't around to keep that population down. And of course, the chickens following the cattle keep down bugs and do other activities to help the land. In that way, their profit to the farm isn't tangible in dollars and sense but highly important to the farm's ecosystem, as the bees help with pollination to keep healthy gardens. Maybe another video discussing those aspects of the animals on the farm would be nice to follow up with. :).

A suggestion to help your profit margins: my best muscovy moms have a 99% success rate at hatching out eggs. They are broody super moms and could serve you well in increasing your goose hatching rate. My best muscovy was ready to fight a hawk to defend her babies (she hatched 17 in one clutch).

I think the most important lesson people should take away here is that, if you are a small farmer or homesteading or "farm-steading", is that you absolutely need to be diversified in your operations. You also need to do low profit margin things because they allow you to do (or make it easier) high margin things. Finally, you need to have a healthy mix of long-term product lines as well as short ones to help with cash flow until the long ones kick in.

I've been here since ALMOST the begining. It is incredible seeing how far has it come. Not only that but also my granpa died 3 years ago, and recently my father passed away too. They took care of the family land here in spain. And since my father's farewell I've jumped in to take care of the land. Seeing all the info that you give us for free and how excited you are it only gets me intoxicated in this farming joy. One of the few things I remember from my childhood with love is being in the land taking care of the animals and the crops with my granpa and father. I am now with a full time remote job and organizing the land. Hope I can get in time for february to get some potatoes of the land and getting my first chickens. Thanks for the videos, thanks for the info, and thanks for sharing all the joy and struggle with us. It really inspires me.

It makes sense to stick with the pigs, since you can keep your feed costs so low, which surprised me when you earlier in the year said you weren't planning on continuing the experiment, given not only the direct monetary and meat benefit, but also their use in expanding the land.

Yeah, I called bullshit in my head every time Morgan tried to say the pigs were a one year only experiment. He made such a good business case at the beginning and all the downsides he mentioned were learning curve issues, like the water problems and training them to the wire. But then the clincher was Alison really loving the pigs.

But the overall profit vs cost in effort as well as operational cost, PLUS the benefit involved with Alison really liking them (happy wife happy life 😂) and the work they did clearing land for them… it changed the picture for him. I think he was serious in saying he wasn’t going to do them again, but just seeing the overall picture at the end simply changed his mind.

I actually remembered from last year that the total was just over $18,000, and I also deduced that the overall total this year was going to be less without beef to sell. I think I expected the final figure to be around $16,000 this year as a consequence. I'm pleased to see that you did better than my guess. Fingers crossed that next year sees an uptick in profitability. To be honest, I'd be more surprised if there wasn't. Thanks for entertaining us all year long.

Good info. Something that hadn't occurred to me on the content side of things is that farm animals can now technically have a 'value' placed on them that is beyond the usual meat or offspring potential. Traditionally, a duck is only ever going to fetch a finite dollar amount bringing it to market but now with social media, that duck can be bringing in money in perpetuity.

To those I say, I learned one thing when I started working: It's a lot easier to do work that you love for less pay than work you hate for more pay. Besides, you have a lovely farm, a large house, land to trek should you so choose and you're doing what you love! Merry Christmas to you, Allison, the barn cats, Toby- and AbbyDogg, chickens, ducks, geese and the cattle from Norway!

I think a smart thing to do would be to classify the ducks and weird chickens as "content animals" and account for them as being a loss lead on your overall business. Like how casinos give free alcohol to gamblers. The ducks bring in viewers to the channel which eventually converts a few of those into buying goose meat.

Streamlining to get away from ducks is probably a good idea. Doing pork most years is also probably a good idea. Adding seasonal turkeys might be a good idea, but it might not. Really, concentrating on fewer higher profit animals or products is going to lead to long term success.

They are big spreading gorgeous trees if you have the time to wait for them to get big.

I thought since you had a chart of P&L categories, I could provide a chart of my favorite episode categories. 1 - Any episode focusing on your dogs and cats. (I'll probably never meet any of them, but I still wish to make friends with them and issue the big scratches and belly rubs.) 2 - Your standard video on chores, your life, the life of your various animals, farm facilities, land discoveries (little things like the marshy area and the capped well), etc. 3 - The recent near zero speaking episodes focusing on cinematography and atmosphere of the day, your activities, and your animals. 4 - My buddy Alfred, a genius in blue jeans. These episodes are fun. The episodes I like the least are: 1 - Serious conflicts. Example: The battle between you, the hunters, their hounds, and their trespassing on your land; the battle between you and Abby's breeder. These things outrage me on your behalf and send my blood pressure into the stratosphere. I realize you have to make these videos in your defense, and I voted up on all of them to have your back, but I'll never watch them again. 2 - Climate Change: I'm well aware of the situation and it's future is looking mighty gloomy, which depresses me. I vote up on all of them to show support because you're right, but I didn't enjoy them. 3 - Financial videos. I feel you don't need to tell me these things, or justify any of it, although I realize many others are probably interested.

On the value added side of things, with your new barn it may work out to set up your soap factory in the barn instead of having to sacrifice the kitchen for it (though probably would have to give over a season's profits from the soap for a second set of equipment for it all, so may not be worth it).

Cannot recall whether there is a sink in the barn, but a portable metal table with a sink is easy to find. Both the propane burner and the metal table with sink can be purchased second hand.

I've always wanted your opinion on how much money you think you save from having barn cats for pest removal? versus if you had to hire and buy traps to remove rats, mice and other pests?

Thanks for being so open and sharing all that with us. We really do feel (not accurately, since you do all the work! 😛) like we have a stake in your farm! 🤣 But I think you have every reason to be proud of your growth and farm management! Congratulations, Happy Holidays, and best wishes for the future!

This is always so interesting! It was good to know everything about the pigs, I'm glad that you might get more pigs next year! I would love to see you make more soap again, you could make another video about that. Thanks for being honest about everything.

As another small farm I really appreciate the data you provided. We removed chickens from the "business" side of the farm a couple years ago and now just have our hobby chickens because they weren't profitable. I always wondered how your ducks would be profitable and it was really nice to see the numbers. Your video has also helped in our decisions as to whether or not to dive into cattle. Thanks again for another great video!

I thought your vet bill would be higher given that it’s getting more difficult to secure veterinary services in your area.

Do you estimate the maximum poultry and livestock you can raise given your land area, while sustainably maintaining soil health?

Roughly, yes. For the cattle, my estimate would say 35 with current pasture configurations. It could go higher if I had for forest converted to pasture chickens is a more complicated number. For meat birds, it’s virtually infinite. Land is not the constraint. Labor time and available market would be the constraints there.

I’d love to learn how you do some of those calculations and planning. More (and/or a refresher )on the sustainability/ ecosystem / systems thinking would be fascinating and think on the “vision casting” side of your growth! Thanks for all you do and happy holidays!

Farming is a constant flow. Raising birds, are a pleasure to yourself, and you can't put a price on it...Same with joy, you can't put a price on it. There's a floating process between your profits and your farming. Don't take the joy and pleasure out of it. Farming is a work-in- progress. Your monies will be a work-in-progress. Don't over do your numbers to preform your farm. Leave it like it is, animals first, then numbers.

I was hoping to buy your soap back in January, but the website stated that shipping was $56. When I later checked the site, the soap was sold out. I hope it is easier to purchase next year.

I agree with the person who said that the ducks and chickens are basically workers on the farm, helping with pest control.

I really like you don't have social media in profit loss, as I see it is just a hobby that you do and its something that you do while you run your farm, no one needs to know that
