"Why We Finally Sold Our Cattle" was the most-watched of five uploads this week, reaching nearly 79,000 views. The title means part of the herd, not a farewell to cattle farming: four heifers leave, while Buttercup and Cyndi Lauper stay. Morgan explains that he wants to keep the herd manageable without bringing in a second bull.
The practical decision comes with a personal tug. "I don't know, this time it's a little more bittersweet," he says after loading animals he raised on the farm. The vlog includes a paid Homebase segment, then returns to the remaining cattle, purchased firewood and hoses that need arranging for overnight winter water management. Away from the chores, Morgan and Allison celebrate their wedding anniversary with a corn-maze visit.
Elsewhere, "I Created a New Duck Breed: Boomerang Ducks" drew the week's next-largest audience. Winter preparations, daylight saving and a live call-in rounded out the uploads. The cattle vlog is also drawing the most daily views right now, followed by "Hanging Out with Morgan."
The subscriber count held steady, while daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Among nearby outdoors and homesteading channels, Serkan Doğada had a much larger week; Gold Shaw Farm's weekly views sat between PioneerPauly and Backfire. Here, the week's most absorbing work was smaller-scale: getting four heifers safely onto a trailer, then tending the animals left behind.

Happy anniversary! Here's to many more.
As bittersweet as it is to sell part of your herd, that's the way of the farmer. Glad you kept Buttercup and Cyndi. They're lovely heifers.@JoanieBCSee it on YouTubeMy Corgi Ozzy loves watching these videos with me he gets so wiggly when he sees Toby and Abby . he really likes the cows he gets really invested when he sees them
@SID.255See it on YouTubeBecoming responsible for myself as much as possible and being self sufficient are two different things to me. I don’t want to be self sufficient, I want to be responsibly inter-dependent.
