    We just tried our first goose today - it was a wild snow goose that we hunted. The meat is more similar to beef than chicken or duck, but very good. I'll be hunting more of those in the future. It was thanks to your chicken processing course that got me able to tackle processing it. It was quite the experience!

    Lorrain, consider using a "low tunnel" cover over your raise beds. You can use tulle to cover the arches. Think about it! I have seen them used over cabbages and the bugs didn't get to them.

    Lorraine, you could take heavy wire an make little arches over your garden bed and drape net or frost cloth over it.
    i clip clothes pins to the wire to keep the cloth in place.

    If you start with geese, make sure to build them a "pool" where they can swim and have fun. They eat your scraps of food, and all types of root vegetables as well as greens.

    I hope you enjoy your Christmas goose. When we used have have Christmas dinner with my grandparents, she always had a goose as well as a turkey. They didn't raise either one, they were purchased at the market and she would get the biggest one she could find. Only part of the family had goose (not me) and the rest had turkey.
    Lorraine, you and Penelope did a great job cleaning them up. Y'all have a Blessed day.

    YASS! Goose pastrami is the best! Goose is similar in taste and texture to beef, so you’ll love the pastrami. I smoked ours with some oak and apple woods. Yummy.

    After years of going back and forth on this one (and doing 100+ geese), my experience is that you're better off if you wax your geese and ducks. It's ultimately faster, and it leaves you with a cleaner bird.

    I have a Thanksgiving challenge. This year I'm going to make our Thanksgiving dinner with only things I have home canned or are in my pantry/freezer. My menu will be. Using my home canned turkey. I will make open faced hot turkey sandwiches. Which is my favorite way to eat turkey anyway. Homemade gravy. Mashed potatoes from our garden potatoes. Gf stuffing from boxes of gf stuffing I bought for .79 cents a box last January when they marked them down after the holidays. They are usually 7.00 a box! I have been using them all year for stuffing and using the dry bread cubes for bread crumbs. Back to the menu. My home canned cranberry sauce. Both jelled and whole berry. As my hubby likes the whole berry and I like the jelled. My home canned sweet and sour green beans. And 2 gf pie crusts I have in my freezer that I need to use up. And pumpkin puree from last years sugar pumpkins I grew. So I think we will have a delicious meal for no money. I challenge all you home canners and preppers out there to do the same. Let the stores rip off the unprepared. This is what we have been preparing for! Let's do this!

    Thank you for the teaching videos your family does! Packed with humor,caring,and fun filled. When I saw them plucking the pin feathers from those geese brought back fond memories. My mother in law( whom I cherish,God rest her) I learned so much from her and my Mom(God rest her). They had chicken plucked like tweezers but had rounded flat ends probably as b I g as a dime. Worked like a charm. I've seen times I needed it to clean chicken from the grocery store. I love reading commits from your followers. Some write very interesting stories. I love it and thank you again for sharing your lives with us!

    Nice, the geese went to freezer camp. It's so much easier to do 2 instead of 25, or 50 at once.
    The beefy boys will pack couple of freezers. We picked up our steer the end of September, he was split. We wanted only a half, he filled our chest freezer. It's refreshing knowing we won't be getting any of our meat from the grocery store. Life is good!

    Jason and Lorraine I like your setup of your new homestead.
    And you have just enough animals to feed yourselves. You don't overdo taking on too much that you get overwhelmed as I see a lot of other homesteaders.
    They're way over there head an
    animals it looks very chaotic
    Disorganized overwhelming.
    So please continue doing what you've been doing in a sensible way it's better for you and the animals
    I enjoy watching your channel due to this reason you don't take on more than you can handle.
    Thank you keep up the good work!

    @DB-gr7zb Год назад

    We worked out having Geese and ducks and chicken together. Just had to change water more often. With our geese when they try to bite, we just hold them by the neck until they stop. Then they lose interest and realize they can't bite you. We held them a lot when little, so they knew we were not a threat.

If I pick one up he/she wraps their long neck around mine in a goose hug❤️. I would Never butcher any of my birds. Everyone is a pet. Mine will be 2 years in Feb. They lay wonderful eggs...yummy.

    My geese are very sweet. They are also guard geese if anyone comes on my farm they let me know.😄

    Wife and I had a 7500 Sq ft garden in Jax fl which we fenced using 48" tall fence with 2x3" rectangles. My chickens rarely got in (100 total chickens) unless we let them in after harvest. We moved to Missouri last year and planted an 800 Sq ft garden in tubs. We fenced this one also
    No animals in garden. Use a fence save the plants ... love your vlogs. Keep on going

    I had no idea that a garden could be completely destroyed by one chicken! I'd be spitting mad, Loraine so you are a better person than me. I'd be ensuring that the much-loved chicken 'passed peacefully', lol.
    Jason, the beginning of this video cracked me up. The are so darned noisy! There is another channel I watch (gasp!) called Cog Hill Family Farm and they have a swarm of geese. They refer to them as 'the alarm system' for good reason. Heck I'd bet you could hear them in the house with the doors and windows closed from a football's length away. Yikes! I truly am an animal lover, but I can honestly say that I don't think I like any animal enough to put up with THAT much noise. I'd not harm them, but they'd be looking for new homes. Or most of them would!
    As you can see, I'm a bit behind on the videos, so am in the process of catching with a binge-fest. Looking forward to it!

    Good morning. Just found your channel. Actually, I watched your videos on installing a wood stove in a mobile home.
    You're probably familiar with muscovy ducks. It's controversial whether it's a duck or a Goose. But they're my choice. I also eat their eggs. I have found they are also good setters. My wife and I have a small homestead in Indiana. Have a good day. God bless!
