Oh cool. I'll keep geese in mind, definitely not something I had though of. I also have to keep in mind local ordinances; I'm out of the way but still in a township. So basically I have to get permits for certain animals from the township and there are limits as to what is and is not available. I'm not sure if geese are one of them.

As it is, we have a cat, a dog, and 9 chickens. The long term may involve a rooster. Right now though, I'm pretty sure that rooster would involve me giving up an element of my sanity so I'm holding off on that for now.

The goats will be next, along with a 'goat dog' - a great pyrenese. The geese definitely seem like a good choice though as a meat producer, so that's one to look at.

Thanks for the info guys
