I Spent 7 Days Farming At Gold Shaw Farm

[@Aussietexian]

As a behaviorist, it is really interesting to see how Toby and Abby dog change their personality around a person that is NOT Morgan.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

That’s a really good point! It took them a little while to warm up to us. Toby didn’t really care, Abby was skeptical. We also didn’t take the kids in with them just in case they didn’t care for the kids. But really the dogs were great while we were there!

[@piplupcola]

Totally agree with this. People keep complaining that Abby is a bad livestock guardian dog cos Morgan keeps babying her but clearly you can see from this video Abby is doing an excellent job when it's a stranger handling her compared to Morgan.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

@@piplupcola She really is a great guardian dog! She was always hesitant to the kids. Which I mean they are 4 and 2 and its not like she is around kids everyday! We respected her boundaries and didn't want to make her uncomfortable!

[@elizabethmorton969]

I came to the comments to talk about Abby. I love that she's such a good guard dog. Way to go Abby! 👏🎉

[@BreakingNewRoots]

@@elizabethmorton969 she really is! When she got her zoomies was hilarious and yet terrifying! She was so fast and would bounce around but you had to keep your head on a swivel or she would take you out! She’s a big fluff ball haha

[@Ocerkin]

you dont realize how well morgan trained his cows considering he was totally new to cows until you see someone else move his herd, they moved so nicely for you.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

They were very skeptical at first! I have known from moving cattle as much as I have that patience is everything, especially with cattle that do not know you!

[@georgeharris6851]

[@highpsi11]

Good job, well done! Now we know more about Abby's true nature: protective and not interested in strangers!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Correct! She warmed up over time! Never to the kids! She is a great dog!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

@@IbelongtoJesus. our kids are much smaller than Morgan’s nephews. If we were going to be there more than a week then we would keep working with it. She’s not aggressive. She’s a great LGD

[@MC-qb1jg]

Farming is a very hard life. When you have animals and crops to care for, you need to know what you are doing. Morgan is amazing, considering how far his farm has grown in the few years he has been farming. Best of luck to you and your family. I love living in the south because I can grow crops all year.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

We are excited to farm in the Southeast! We had such a short growing period where we were in Indiana! Excited to gain at least 2 months of growing time!

[@repulsewarriorx8825]

...farming; ..."the story that needs to told." Wow, just wow. ...what a good idea. Cheers!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thanks! We have loved traveling and visiting so many incredible farms across America! We are excited for this transition and to begin farming again!

[@bkm2797]

Hi Paul and Olivia, I just saw where Morgan and Allison went, and I have to say I would have never guessed Iceland,lol. Morgan is grateful that you are at Gold Shaw to make sure all the animals are taken care of. I really wish for you and Olivia the farm of your dreams, in the meantime thank you for helping out.🐄🐓🦆🐕🐕🐈🐥🐷❤️👍

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! It was just like the stars aligned for us! We are glad to have traveled as much and met so many amazing farmers! We are going to use everything we learned to settle down our roots again!

[@Lovehandels]

It's fun seeing someone else going 'Hey cows come on cows!" but you forget the fresh grass part of the call :P

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Ah yes I did. I didn't realize that until I got to the edit. I was so hopeful that they would respond to my call, but I felt the eyeballs and lack of respect from the cattle from my call! They know what needs to be said to get them to mooooove haha!

[@kc4941]

So fun getting to know you and see you helping at Goldshaw farm.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! Its been such an adventure! We are ready for the next chapter and putting our own roots back down!

[@RoseNZieg]

animals may not understand you but they definitely feel your emotions.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Very true! At the last day its almost as if the cattle knew it was our last day together! Very nice animals!

[@albrightfs]

New sub here!.. Thank you for taking care of Gold Shaw farm!.. Come to central oregon!.. We would love to host you. We are in our 60s with a diverse farm of emu, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pheasants, quail, chukar, longhorns, mini longhorns, goats, kune kune, juliana, american blackbelly sheep, rabbits..!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! We are about to transition from full time travel to settling down to North Carolina! Can blame Morgan! haha We would probably still be travelin if he didn't give us the farming bug again!

[@albrightfs]

@@BreakingNewRoots I'm so excited for you!!

[@DipityS]

Now that you bring it up it has been a little while since Morgan filmed himself putting up temporary fences - I can imagine it would be time consuming and complicated to set up the camera and carry everything. I think it was very compassionate of you both to try to help during hard times - and I respect you both deeply for your actions. But, no, when you have such thin margin it's easy to fall. I hope you both get your farming life back, and I hope when you look back your journey to your forever farm will be filled with good times and learning. You know, it never occurred to me that Abbie and Toby would be intimidating - it's such a shock realising that of course they would be. I felt I knew them both because we've watched them from pups - but they're big territorial pups and they certainly don't know us!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

I guess I didn't realize its been a while since he has shown that! It adds a much more difficult aspect to it! We have loved this journey of traveling and talking and LEARNING from so many farmers across the country! We are excited to continue those lessons and conversations, but we are excited for the opportunity to settle down again!

[@piplupcola]

Paul: Stay in school! Dont do drugs! Baby Bee: Mooooo... (I'm a cow....)

[@BreakingNewRoots]

She is such a good cow! We really got the farming bug again after farm sitting!

[@MrTankfarmer]

Nice to meet you Paul. I agree about how beautiful the Gold Shaw farm is, it must be amazing to wake up to that view! Good luck on your own farm search too.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you! We are glad to have done this adventure and know our farm tours aren't done yet! We are very excited for everything we have learned and planting our roots!

[@julielegg1634]

I'm surprised at how shy Abby is! 😮

[@BreakingNewRoots]

It was a feel each other out. Everyday she got more used to me! She is such a great dog!

[@MrsTigercat]

Thank you for helping Morgan and Allison so that they could take a vacation. Did you ever find Toby and Ginny? You left the hydrant on. It was funny watching you try to coax the cows with a different call phrase. It is NOT crazy to talk to animals. I'm glad you didn't get shocked by the fence. 😊

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Toby is definitely a fan favorite! Toby was out in my first pass through and then he was resting in greenhouse when I came back through! Ginny would operate on her own schedule! As far as water goes! I would usually leave it on 30 mins after chores to ensure cattle water was full. I cut that scene! Thanks for watching!

[@russellyoung8812]

This feels like you won a KZbin contest to run Gold Shaw Farms, and you're killing it!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

haha that would for sure be an interesting contest to win! Kind of like winning a Mr. Beast contest! We enjoyed our time there!

[@Sarafimm2]

With all the different farming methods that you have seen, it would be good to write a (children's) book about it. What they do in each region and why they chose the animals, the crops, and how they farm and what are their future plans. Like the fact Morgan wanted his pond. There are a few different reasons. And it's interesting to see the pond's journey to what it is today. Why did he get his greenhouse structure, and what are the pros and cons for it? Why has Morgan pivoted his direction from mainly a duck farmer to a goose farmer? Do other farms have "pet" animals that are not truly useful or profitable, like Morgan's "Weird Chickens"? If it's a children's book, each region could be a new book as a connected series.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

That would be very interesting to put together! We are for sure thinking about a book, but it feels like everyone has a book anymore. We are in the works on a video, coming soon, date unknown, about the things we learned for ourselves as we begin a farm again, on lessons we have learned from all of the farms and regions we have visited. It has been most interesting to find so many regenerative farmers with different reasons for farming that tweak the playbook on regenerative farming to their area or their lifestyle.

[@Marilou-g5t]

@@BreakingNewRoots video might be a better fit for you, but i was thinking book, too! Holler, if you want a red ink pen grammar checker! Red is easiest to see. I could use pink, purple, green, or other color...

[@chriscorbin2059]

A cousin of mine was a farmer whose property was purchased for a lot of money and could have done anything else but the first thing he did was buy another farm. I have many happy memories of my visits.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

That is awesome! Like everything right now, feels very high right now to buy! We are aiming to lease! 22 of the 100+ farms we have visited on are on exclusively on leased land!

[@rhondam2006]

Good job. I’m sure Morgan appreciates you guys. Don’t forget to feed the dogs and cats.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Never did! Dogs were an evening chore and I always fed the cats before I went out and did the other animals! Otherwise Pablo would chase me down!

[@CynthiaNoelNYC]

Thank goodness you guys were close to the Farm when the storms hit! It's not crazy to talk to the animals - we all do it! Hysterical moment calling the moo crew to move pastures. 😂 You're doing a great job.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! We have loved this adventure! Excited for the next chapter!

[@DumpsterLettuce]

Mourning farming is definitely a real thing. I lost my poultry farm 2 years ago due to landlord selling the property. The first year an a 1/2 were really rough. 💔 I miss those birds so dang much.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Hate to hear that about your farm! You can really get an attachment to the animals for sure! Even have just a week of doing chores, I felt bonded to the cattle! The last morning I moved them, its like they knew it too! Animals certainly provide something for us that we might not have otherwise realized!

[@susanmacdonald4288]

I had to automatically add, "Ride and grind, weirdos!" when you let the weird chickens out. It was interesting watching someone other than Morgan do the chores, but you fit in well. And I loved it when the piggies came charging along to be fed!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

The pigs are hilarious! They have such big personalities. We faced some more storms, which Vermont did not need, near the end of our time there! Those pigs were very responsive to the rain and could tell they knew exactly what to do if it were to flood again!

How wonderful you and Olivia have found a way to decide if farming is for both of you and Morgan & Allison are enjoying Iceland .Farmers are the back bone of this country , it’s not the Big Farm Corporations . Everyone if you have a farmers market nearby on weekends, please visit it and support them. 🚜🐥🐷🐓🐄

[@BreakingNewRoots]

We absolutely support farmers market. We were vendors ourselves when we farmed full-time. That was 80% of our income when we farmed! We miss being there with the people and providing a high quality product! We are excited to start the next chapter and put some roots down again!

[@Libbathegreat]

Good luck to you finding your new dream farm! I hear you about wanting to keep people fed. When you're in a community you don't ever wanna stop helping a neighbor in need. But I'm sure you've learned by now you gotta make sure you're good before you can help anyone else. If you settle in somewhere, get to know your neighbors and fellow farmers around so that if hard times come again, you can think about forming a co-op so you can pool resources/labor, buy feed at a better price, etc., so you can keep feeding those in need. It's also just a great communal experience. The co-op solar panels like Morgan and his neighbors have is also a great thing and a big help. Much love from your new subscriber in Greece!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you! We have enjoyed this journey of traveling and meeting farmers and are so excited to keep that conversation going while we settle down and find a farm!

[@angelamarie4137]

I remember my Grandpa just had fences all around two huge pastures. He would move them back and forth periodically. It was always really exciting for me as a kid when he moved them because it involved getting them across a road. 😅 Grandpa always called me and my sister "the city kids" (my Mom grew up on the farm and married and moved away) and he seemed very happy when we would come visit because we got so excited about being on the farm. Chores weren't chires for us city kids - they were amazing magical experiences. Lol When I watch these farm chore types of videos, it really takes me right back. Thank you.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you! We used to be real heavy with creating videos around our farm when we did for 6 years.

Did not know you guys before you coming to Morgan. Lovely video, especially your honesty. Nice to hear, you guys decided to go back farming, despite your former experiences. In Morgan´s videos AbbyDog always seems to be the goofy one. But around you she seems to be a real life stock guardian - and hearing the story about your kids and AbbyDog is an eye opener. Btw, where was TobyDog? And thx for reminding everybody, that Morgan makes the chores look easy, but honestly chores are work. We all should respect farmers a lot more.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

It's one thing when it's your own farm and you know the hygiene of the cows/milker/storage/etc. It's another thing when you don't know all that info. There's a reason pasteurization became the universal standard for milk - raw milk can be incredibly dangerous and has killed tons of people throughout history and prehistory. That doesn't mean it's always dangerous. But that's why I specified the importance of knowing not only where that milk came from, but knowing the cleanliness of the environment and storage. When it's your own farm, you can control all of that. When you're buying it from someone else? Well, I wouldn't trust it. Plus, my partner is immune compromised so he's more likely to get sick even from low levels of bacteria in the milk.

Firefighter and EMT shows your heart is in helping people during their worst moments; and no one goes into farming to get rich. Farming is a gamble all the time. Any little thing can make the difference between profit or debt. We need farmers especially farmers who can about their animals and the quality of their products.

BTW, we just started a KZbin channel, “Moonlight Meadows Farming.” Thank you for you and your wife’s channel.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

There is for sure! That it something we considered doing full time when we started this adventure. The hurdle we cannot get over is this. We live in an RV full time, which is the benefit. Yet we have 2 small kids. The drive from Vermont to Morgans back to Indiana took us 4 straight days. It would be a logistical nightmare to try and coordinate farm sitting stays. I mean if one week you were in Texas and the next you needed to be in Maine, the driving would be too much on our small family. The wear and tear on the camper and the truck would go up drastically too. I think someone could do it, just the size of their outfit and their family situation would have to be different, I feel. Good luck with your channel! They are a TON of work!

It has been an amazing adventure that isn't quite over with yet, but we are excited to settle down and grow our own food again!

Loved the angles you used, showing us a new side of GSF. As a side note, you're a very good speaker and kept me interested. No shade to your wife, but I feel you express your points better. Hope there will be more of you in front of the camera.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

We both have different perspectives for sure! It was different to edit a video of myself in the video versus her! We have loved talking to farms across the country and are so excited to settle down and grow food again!

I subscribed because you are and can be more of a storyteller like Morgan. Specially when you said that you're not good with names. 90℅ of the time when people show their vulnerability the people watching appreciate that. Just be caring and be empathetic with the animals, because they are very smart and loveable they know the person who is talking by their voice and they know if you truly care for them to trust and give their respect in return. Thank you for sharing your day with us and we will be on the lookout for the best of what your channel can offer. Good luck and take care. 😊

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! Farming at Morgan's really gave us the farming itch again! We are excited to continue to meet farmers and share their stories here, but we are excited to settle down and begin raising our own food again!

What a wonderful video! You’ve made me nostalgic for the way I grew up on a farm. All the beautiful relationships you have with animals and the land. We had dairy and beef cattle, chickens, and at one time pigs and goats. Cows and pigs I love most- but find chickens and goats hilarious for different reasons.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you very much! The views and the cows reignited our passion for farming for ourselves again! We have met so many amazing farmers across the country, but just getting our hands dirty has made us want to do it again!

[@adem6371]

@@BreakingNewRoots thanks for the reply, so lovely- I immediately followed after the vid- still exploring your channel, awesome work!!!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thanks so much! There is a lot to watch for sure! Our videos from us farming are no longer, but we have focused and highlighting the almost 100 farms so far! We have visited over 100 and have more to visit before we settle down roots again!

[@colecolettecole]

theres something very very peaceful about watching this ~

Thank you very much! The views could not be described or shown as pretty as they are on camera!

I looked up the Salatin chicken tractors. I did not see wheels or skids. If they do not have either of these they are important to make the move easier. Seven Sons have skids on their 1,000 chick tractors and it seems makes them easier to move.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

The Salatin tractors have the infamous dolly that goes to them. Easy to weld and use. We did a video with J&L Green Farm in Virginia that still uses that style and shows the dolly. We have seen the large prairie schooners as well at several farms across America! Very cool!

[@roslyndrayton6716]

I really enjoyed another perspective of farming from Paul. I'm glad you and Olivia want to get back into farming. Lovely video!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! We had the farming itch for sure at points during this adventure! This was what pushed us over the edge! We have enjoyed meeting so many amazing people but we are so excited to settle down again!

[@beckbeck5110]

Looking forward to wstching your new farm journey.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! Us too! It has been an amazing adventure to this point and we are excited to continue those conversations and excited for the next chapter!

[@elizabethmorton969]

Thank you for bringing us along! I have subscribed now and can't wait till y'all get your farm started! Good luck!

Hello its good you & your wife are helping out on Gold Shaw Farm. Just take it 1 day at a time. you will do a great job for them. & when the time is right you will fine the right farm for you & your family. Good luck with your Kids. Just don't take on more them you can handle when you start out again. The 2 young cows are still to young for breading yet. Morgan is keeping them away from the bull. They need to wait till next year. That is why they are not with all the other cows the Bull.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Yep! We are excited to settle down again! Being around the highlands is my first time being around them and I really enjoyed them. We have another video coming with the farm where Morgan got his highlands from. We loved their farm and their story too, but we are now sold that we will end up with highlands when we settle down!

If it's crazy to talk to animals I must be certifiable. I talk to the neighbor's cats, squirrels, birds, especially blue jays, the blue tailed skunk that jumped on me, ran up my arm into my sleeve and down my back. That last one started out as hello little guy and then turned to where do you think you're going? Chickens are really fun to talk to.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

I guess I didn't realized I talked to animals as much as I did until I was doing chores at Morgans again!

[@sctahir]

That was a blue tailed skink, not skunk. I hate autocorrect. 😒 skunk would have been so much worse.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

@@sctahir hahaha my brain didn't even catch it! I read it as skink! a blue tailed skunk could be way worse or the first of its kind! 🤣

I think your content will be so interesting! You have learned so much on your journey. Thank you for sharing your process with us. I just subscribed and I bet many others will subscribe. Take us along on your search for your next farm!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thanks! We absolutely will! We have loved learning from so many across the country and we are excited to continue meeting people. We are so excited to settle down and grow our own food again!

[@AJJoers]

I feel like you should write about your Indiana farm experience, the 100 Farm tour internship and like a bit about each farm you visited what ya learned. And then how it brought you back you farming. This is basically a thesis lol.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

So much to unpack! Yes. We have a video planned to talk about what we’ve learned. Olivia is writing an article talking about it as well and it’s slated to get published this fall!

[@Arham7cheema]

The view is very charming and catchy which give pleasure any how this video is special and this is very interesting i love this farm because there are various animal thank you for your time Good 🤞👍

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much! It gave us the itch to farm again and we are glad to have visited over 100 farms and aren't done with that yet, but we are excited to begin farming again!

Great job! What about Ginny (Am I spelling that correctly?) barn cat? Pablo got his dinner.

Ginny is a mystery! She shows up when fed haha. I know she is very friendly with our kiddos! She knows I am allergic and would try and hop on the shoulder during feeding!

There should be a pole to put the reel on on the atv for the wire. 😅 If it's far enough to drive around to save time

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Yes that would be very nice! We have come to realize that we enjoy those smaller reels more and enjoy the walking back and forth. It makes a good workout and getting those extra steps in! I felt like it allowed me to stop and take it in more and just being with the cows!

[@tarran4596]

@@BreakingNewRoots You could save even more time on larger areas by putting the poles in the atv too... Drive, stop, place pole, etc. I understand that you're taking it all in as much as poss. I would too

[@BreakingNewRoots]

@@tarran4596 this is something Morgan and I talked about the smaller reels versus the heavy duty fancy ones! The small reels make great for small daily moves, on his farm, and those heavy duty fancy ones do better on massive runs and big pasture moves!
