Calm, personable and quieter than most geese

Excellent at intruder alert


Less aggressive than most other breeds, make this an excellent choice for the family farm.  They are curious and have excellent eyesight which makes them a very good sentinel bird.  Not only are they good at weed control, but their droppings are an excellent fertilizer being environmentally friendly and free of chemicals.  Because of their excellent foraging and wide range of foods make them very easy and inexpensive to care for.
