About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. We dream that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

[@kathywimble4740]

While cleaning a litter box is no fun, it does give you a change to monitor your cat’s wastes. My cat is currently recovering from a case of irritable bowel syndrome and monitoring the amount, frequency and consistency of her poop is important. That being said, we had an automatic litter box for a cat about 15 years ago. Worked great, scooping about ten minutes after she left the box. One day she managed to pee on the little door that covered the circuit board and fried it. After that the box would scoop every ten minutes whether she had used it or not. She never went near it again.

[@cwarts5461]

Make a board with measurements with two stakes on each end, planted in the field, then when Kurt walks in front of it you will have a video of it and you will be able to measure it. That's how they measure fish sometimes, they swim in front of it and then freeze frame and look at it. 🤙✌️

[@TheFGSDude]

Hey Morgan, about the new hoop coop. I read from a few commenters that part of why it broke wasn't actually the wind, but a combination of the cold and the wind. Meaning it might be better to invest in a different material as cover for it when the time comes to install it. Plastic can become very brittle in freezing temps. I haven't seen you mention or acknowledge this in the vids, so I just wanted to mention it once more.

I'm so happy to finally get a puddle duck nest update. I was dying to find out. I noticed her eating with the others a few videos back and figured she was no longer on the nest. LOL @ her just being like "f**k this" after 2 weeks. 🤣❤

[@jp-ny2pd]

The biggest problem I have had with those rotating drum litter boxes, is they end up sliding all the poop/pee around on the inside where some of it gets stuck on the drum. You'll end up needing to scrape and wipe down the inside of the drum. Still an improvement over scooping for sure. I ended up getting a Cat Genie which has worked out AMAZING. It's pretty much set and forget with maybe once a month cleaning. Cleaning just entails taking the thing outside and giving it a good deep cleaning. The big downside is it needs to be connected to water and a drain and sounds like a garbage disposal when it runs.

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

Very cool to see the interspecies flocks still sticking together! And it was so funny Abby tried to groom the cow

We used to have the litter robot 3 connect. My only tips are: - jiggle the drawer to get another few uses out of your bag, ours always just dumped on the left side of the drawer -make sure she doesn’t get too fat; our biggest cat is 25lbs (overweight, he is on a diet and has an exercise wheel) and he ended up not fitting well and got litter all up the back of his butt and back of legs -get replacement bags off Amazon!!!! They’re so much cheaper -sprinkle litter deodorizer in the drawer and a little bit in the space pod itself (arm and hammer makes a great one) Happy litter robotting!

[@HELENGodLoves]

FANTASTIC REVIEW AND ADVICE!!! Was the wheel hard to learn for the kitty?

[@hunneydew3887]

@@HELENGodLoves our big boy is skittish so it took quite a while. We started slow with a laser pointer getting on the wheel and letting him hop off. Then we slowly introduced more time and movement on the wheel. We started with light rocking, and worked our way up at his pace to where he’s comfortable enough to walk on it. He isn’t a fan but will do it if we tempt with a laser pointer or a greenie treat. One of our cats only runs on it when we are around it for attention since we are pro-positive reinforcement and she’s an attention hog lol the brand of ours is One Fast Cat

Hey, I love the farm and the content. The bears are moving because it's mating season for them, and they are hunting for winter fat. Same as the deer. Most old animals have an instinct about hunting season, too. I have seen in the past, animals that come to the property stop coming during certain times of the year and usually hunting season was one of them.

[@Ayla123Hemora]

For the cow hair fibers, you could actually sell them online for people that like to weave and wind their own yarns! My friends' mom uses an old fashioned spool to spin yarn from all sorts of animal hair, and she's told me that there are entire communities that will pay money for the naturally brushed/shed hair of various animals, so maybe you could look into that. I also know of a few artists that work with sculptures and even paints that are always looking for natural and ethically sourced materials like that for their projects- so there's a market somewhere for it, I'm sure!

[@casid9929]

We moved from the farm when I was five so my knowledge comes from my Dad's stories. He said over the years as he raised the cows (40 head) from birth they would do as he asked. Once one gave birth next to the bank of the Platte River. The calf rolled down the bank and cow was bawling for her calf. My dad climbed down the bank, picked up calf and started to climb back up. The calf started to bawl which attracted the attention of the bull who started to charge. My Dad said he hollered "Prince, go to the barn". Dad said Prince skidded to a stop at the top of the bank, blinked his big eyes, turned and walked toward the barn!

[@bittehiereinfugen7723]

@@GoldShawFarm 👍🏻Good luck - and I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

[@jaidensjungle2309]

She mostly looks like that due to the fact that she was spayed early. Dogs who are spayed early don’t usually grow a full adult coat because they don’t have all the hormones they would if they matured unaltered. Toby for example is not neutered snd he has a very full mature coat. Abby could still get a little fuller but she also may not. Nothing wrong with Morgan’s decision though he is his dog and he knows what’s best for her.

[@jaidensjungle2309]

She is*

[@Dee-jq2ob]

@@jaidensjungle2309 I know what you mean. We just adopted a dog from the pound and the spay and neuter all dogs and cats, before being put up for adoption. They start at 6 weeks and I understand why they do it, but our new 4 month puppy is a bigger dog, with these long lanky legs (which he trips over) and am wondering if he will ever grow into them. He is already 50lbs and looks skinny 😂 that is the only complaint I have about our human society, because it’s a no kill shelter and they really do keep the animals until they are adopted. Last dog we got from them was full grown and was the biggest dog (150lbs) and had been there 10 months. Oh, we specifically asked for the dog nobody wanted, we called him fluffy and he was the best dog ever.

[@emilysimoneau]

I don’t have a litter robot but something Morgan didn’t mention that I would like to highlight is these machines are also super useful for more closely monitoring the urinary output for cats. If you’ve owned a cat you know they are prone to kidney and urinary infections that can be very deadly to them. Early detection of worrying trends in that department might save your cat’s life especially since cats tend to hide illness by default as a way to avoid looking weak to predators. Also love seeing the consideration for Lil’s potential fear of the litter robot. A lot of people don’t realize how scent comforted cats are. Switching boxes cold turkey can result in peeing outside the box as a form of anxious scent marking.

[@jessicarogers4618]

Hey Morgan! Everything is looking great! Can’t wait to see the new bird house when it’s done. Could you speak to why you use bowls for the birds food rather than a large bucket like a 5 gallon bucket with a feeder part on the bottom. I would just think that would keep the food dry and clean longer and no one would stand in it and hog it from others.

[@Sarafimm2]

I'm interested, too!

[@goldengryphon]

Speaking from the bird handler view, I have used the "fancy" big metal feeders and the open feeders. Between the two, the open feeders, like Morgan uses are easier to clean, less expensive to purchase, and do an overall better job of feeding the birds. The fancier feeders, while they might keep the feed somewhat protected, can get contaminated pretty simply and are much harder to clean. There was a limit to the number of birds that could eat from the hanging and ground metal feeder at a given time, birds would sometimes perch on top of the feeder, further restricting the availability of the feed, and feed would go bad in the odd crannies. The open feeders are tough, last a long time and are hard to break. Cleaning them is as easy as dumping them over, spraying them out, or swishing some soap through them. Plus, they're multi-purpose! My geese will use some of them as a bathtub if I fill them with water. Very cool.

[@jessicarogers4618]

@@goldengryphon I disagree with some of that as I use the feeders that are the fancy ones as you call that. I don’t think they’re hard to use or have crannies as they’re meant to be used for food and cleaned the center is a pyramid shape so the food is always directed towards the opening. Atleast 8-10 birds can eat out of them at once (obviously Morgan has tons more birds than that but he also has multiple feeders) and they can’t roost on top because of the shape of them. To eat his own but I was just wondering Morgan’s view on it.

[@goldengryphon]
