Honk goose at gate!
All of ours our on the loose.
They clip around the pond.
They honk at the hawk.
A few eggs in the spring.
Amusing they are.
What purpose a goose?
Thus far they’ve not told me.

I am Nebraska born and raised. Alot of folks here look upon geese as watchdogs. They can make alot of noise when someone drives into your yard.
They do that – make a lot of noise. :) Yesterday I saw them fly. No way they should be able to stay up in the air. Rather like the Galaxy over our heads.
We have geese and they really are the best early morning alarm clocks ever!
Interesting, ours aren’t particularly noisy in the morning. But the roosters. Hoo-boy! 4 am. I work at training them to crow later. Stewey! The last rooster to crow lives another day.
If I raise geese could I just put them on grass and and eat them at about Christmas time?
Yes. We don’t feed our geese much in the way of anything during the warm seasons. Like the ducks and chickens they forage for their food. They are most excellent at mowing, leaving neatly manicured lawns, and poop piles. Late in the fall as the forage vanishes you will want to provide them with something to make up for the lost pastures.
