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.

In Oregon, I bought my hay from the same farmer every year. One year when we got to the field to pick up the hay, there was an unmowed spot near the middle with caution tape around it. When he was haying, he found a pheasant with a nest, so he marked it and put up a sign to keep them safe. ❤❤❤

[@PapillonOne]

LOVE THAT!! That is the way to treat wildlife! Thanks for sharing.

[@thePrisoner1000]

Pheasants were first introduced to Oregon in the early 1880s by Owen Denny, the U.S. consul general in Shanghai. He brought 60 ring-necked pheasants from Asia and released them in the Willamette Valley. This marked the beginning of pheasant hunting in Oregon and as the population grew some were transported to another 40 states.

On Fridays I watch a German show called NDR Hofgeschichten and just this past Friday they also showed a segment on cutting grass fields and fawns. In the very early morning hours (ground coldest) they'd fly an infra red drone over the area to be cut. The fawns show up as heat points and they catch them. Then they put them all in a sacrificial strip of grass (as in, it won't get mowed) for their mothers to pick up after the main field is mowed.

[@gothic_oma]

Awesome! 😊

In Norway they are now doing a project with thermal cameras searching throug/over fields right before they are mowed/shorn to catch and remove the baby deer hiding in them. No farmer wants to accidentally harm or kill these young animals if they can avoid it, and new technology can really help (as you too doo with your drone herding:) )

I think you should get a couple of Alpacas. Why? They are good protectors, you can sell their hair, their poop has anti-weed growing properties. They poop in one spot for easy collection. If you want to change the place they poop, you just move all the poop to a new location then harvest 3/4 of it as fertilizer leaving the rest to move and collect later. The fact they spit is kind of cute, lol.

It's probably a good idea to use your drone before cutting. I know they do this in Germany now. They go in with big buckets and take out the babies in those. The drone operator tells them exactly where they are. It needs a lot of people. They take some of the grass and they try to use gloves to not leave a scent. Lots of babies are killed by cutting grass every year, and now they use this technology to save them. Win-win.

Rather than brushhogging, have you considered making your own bales of hay from your field to feed them in winter? Might be a great self sustainability move!

[@sueheaman7186]

I was wondering the same thing🤔Seems like a waste, not only of feed for you or someone could use it and your time and money going into fuel !

[@sandywave4971]

Maybe in theory a waste, but baking hay in itself is expensive with time and space and getting tools and employees to help get it all done in season. People can get really busy to the point that they look wasteful but they’re just prioritizing the very few hours they have each day

[@ronaldharris7748]

Morgan, I'm a fan whoes been watchin' since the begin and so, I've also watched your skills and ideas for new and different equipment that you build grow and improve so much over the years and you've gotten so much better! And it fantastic because it all for the betterment of the lives of the animals and that's something very near and dear to my heart ♥ ...but I feel I have to say this years "happy cowmoblie" is coming up.and I think that's why your cows aren't respecting their fencing...their are more of them and there's significantly less shade beingoffered by the HCM so they;re finding their own. I have to admit when I first was it I was waiting for soming like extenting or folding arms to pus out the mesh the injust hanging....so in could still be easy for you to move but give more shade or something like that...the additions of the scratching brushes and the licking basket were great ...but the shade needs to extend more before the hieght of summer for their wellbeing and safety- you have white cows they need shade so they don't burn!!! they are especially susceptible as all white animals to sunburns. I don't mean to criticize, really I'm just concerned and want what's best for the animals health is literally my job....and because I know you can do amzaing thingsi for your animals out of love for them.

If people don't want to be looking for bull testicles to distinguish the two males, the bull and the steer have different horn shapes. The bull's (Macho Man Randy Savage) horns are horizontal to the ground. Perfect for fighting another bull or savaging threats. The steer (Joey Ramone) has horns that are more upright, like a cow's.

[@urkiddingme6254]

Carmen Miranda is taunting you. I'm over here now. Come catch me, Morgan! I think that, since you were stopping mowing for the day anyway, you should have left the fawn where it was, so Mom knows where to find it. We've been seeing a lot of that this year. Even in the suburbs, Moms leave their fawns in someone's fenced yard for the day, hop the fence, then come back to it in the evening or whenever they've eaten enough to sustain themselves.

Heck, he has said in the past that he hunts. A better statement would be that he wouldn't harm an animal needlessly or without good reason.

While brush hogging and mowing makes a field look neater...it's terribly dangerous and destructive to wildlife. Fawns, baby rabbits, birds, snakes are all living in that grass. I live in farm country and dread their mowing hay on their normal June 1st-- many times they leave dead fawns behind. Mom may be watching, but there's nothing she can do to save her little one. Very sad to see. Would rather see them mow later in the season, but I know they need the hay. Brush hogging--if even necessary, can wait until the fall, when everyone is gone, imho.

You know, I get that you aren’t comfortable with your skills to move the cows without setting up alleyways but it hurts my cow-working soul.
