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.

Beatrix Potter was a huge advocate for saving small farms in England. She used the proceeds of her books to buy small farms to save them from being bulldozed into into track house communities.

This calf naming is serious business. We are going to hear Morgan talking about this calf and calling out this name for years to come. I think I really want to hear Morgan repeatedly yell “Biiiiiiiiiiscuit”!

Abby loosing her winter coat has me chuckling because she is so much more fluffy than she normally is

[@dragonbrat]

Are you thinking of moving Amanda and her baby to be with Bonnie and Belinda? With the boys tussling it might be safer for the baby to be closer to the house and away from the rough housing. It also may help Amanda establish herself in the herd, and give the baby herd-mates closer to her size to play with.

[@PreciousPatchesFarms]

Highland cattle are unlike most breeds. The bulls are generally gentle until threatened. Allowing the family to bond as a fold is very beneficial to a calf.

[@uppityupshaw]

Amanda going from being the most skittish cow to the most tolerant when it comes to who is around her baby was not on my bingo card! The baby is adorable and this video was all over the place in the best way!

[@8happyperson]

it’s a shame abbie’s genetics didn’t turn out, it seems like she would’ve made such a good mom. She’s so maternal. Well at least she’ll get to be a second mom to many many little calf’s over the years ☺️.

[@BigGhilz]

Abby's all like "all my life I wanted one of the cows who is my size!"

[@theteenagegardener]

Hey Morgan! I have a quick tip about your pumpkin plants. When you notice that the young plants (when the leaves are still very small) are flowering, you want to pinch off the flowers. This is because the young plants are not yet able to support producing large fruit. You should wait till they have several good-sized leaves to allow them to start producing fruit.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Thanks for this tip! Useful to me, as well.

[@cynthiablackburn4226]

Dip the flowers in egg batter and bread crumbs, and fry. Yum!

[@ssdoxiebrock4691]

There's no need to do that. The plant produces a lot of male flowers to attract the bees, so when the plant is ready to produce the female flowers, the bees will be around to pollinate. The plants know what they are doing without interference from humans. There is one small exception; since the pumpkins are inside the hoop coop and no bees, then hand pollination will be needed. The pumpkin plants will not produce the female flower until it's ready. You're not going to get a pumpkin from the first few flowers. If eating them is something you would like to try, then go ahead and remove the flower. Otherwise, leave it be, the plants know what they are doing. 😉🙂

[@deborahgilliland1804]

Abby is really doing her job guarding the calf. One of those jobs is helping to clean it off if the mama doesn't mind and trusts her plus eating the afterbirth if the mother doesn't. They do it to keep preditors from picking up the scent. Abby is finding her place on the farm and with the herd. Good job Abby!

[@KnitsFromTheVoid]

Abby really is the perfect cattle dog. I am so happy to see how she turned out

Congrats on the new baby! It's so heartwarming to watch you pet & brush & chat with her while Abby keeps close watch! I could watch an entire video of just you and baby Betty White! (Someone else here made that suggestion, and I fell for it lock, stock, and barrel because Betty was such a devoted animal lover!)

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

Abby's interaction with the calf, has proved Morgan 💯 right that Abby is a guardian dog for the cattle..

[@piperleelee]

The bond between Abbie and the calf is heartwarming. Would love to see more videos in future of their bonding moments. Abbie has definately found her job on the farm with the cattle.

[@RealFarknMcCoy]

You might want to look up the word "rendering". I don't think that's the word you wanted to use. And even "heart-rending" kinda means "heartbreaking". Maybe "heartwarming" would be the go?

It’s nice to see her energy and personality has a place here :) I was so worried she wouldn’t be able to fit in and have to be washed and made a pet, working dogs deserve to have jobs, though I understand some just don’t have the focus to

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Yes, she has too much energy to ever be a pet. She is a lovely girl, but she needs something more to focus her energy into, not at all like a dog who would lounge on the couch all day. Her life on the farm, with the cattle just speaks to her. She has found her niche.

Mama is so good. She is so calm cool and collected. She’s letting both you and Abby touch a newborn calf which is very very unusual. Normally they’re very protective. She’s going to be a great mama and you’re gonna have fun.

[@arcan762]

I wouldn't call that a good thing tbh. Good for the farmer perhaps, but not the intended behaviour at all for a new mother.

[@ThereIsNoAOS]

@@arcan762 she's used to both Abby and Morgan, there is nothing to be worried about for now unless other signs arise, or am I mistaken here?

[@knoahbody69]

@@ThereIsNoAOS She's also the lowest Cow, so she knows that Abby is there to protect her.

[@hkira1110]

Its honestly pretty shoking how collected Amanda is considering she's Morgans most skitish cow

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

It depends if it's genuinely only because she knows and trusts them or if she maybe really just doesn't care as much as she should in general. You'd have to get a stranger in there or something and see if she'd be more protective then, maybe. If she really just doesn't care as much as she's supposed to, it could leave the calf vulnerable and unprotected even at times when the calf really needs a mama watching out for it. This could just be due to inexperience[ as the mama Amanda is young and this is her first calf ever so she might just not quite know what she's doing as a mom yet] and may improve over time-or it could be that Amanda simply isn't the most maternal cow in the world and motherhood may not be her most natural or preferred potential calling in life. Only time will tell. I'm sure Morgan will keep a close eye on it, either way, and will act accordingly to whatever they do or don't turn out to need. 🙂
