There aren't enough words in the English language for me to describe how we feel about these birds. To be honest, I was a bit goosaphobic after hearing stories of goose attacks from other people with geese. The description of the Buff American tempted me to try them out. A medium sized goose, they grow quickly and are larger than you may expect. Quiet and calm they have been a treat to raise. With a little handling, the goslings become very friendly and will lie at your feet.
