    When you say live geese what age are you talking about, and what purpose?

    Geese only lay a few eggs and are just for the Christmas market in place of a turkey. Ducks lay lots of eggs that you can sell.

    Ah but you won’t get a golden egg from a duck!

    Physically hard to kill , emotionally hard to kill, hard to pluck. All frame and no meat.
    Far too nice of a creature for us so the geese we have now are lawnmowers and pets.

    Was thinking of getting a few geese and gander to raise geese and to sell live. Is there a market for forward store geese!!! Raise chickens here and the kids love them. Another mad notion.

    Remember being afraid of the gander when I was young. The fecker caught my mother with his beak and beat her with his wings.

    Goose wrangling skills are nearly a lost art ;)

    How much is a fat goose worth live?
