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.
I have used tule for years. Call it my wedding garden. Lol
Most sensible homestead management. No waste or stress. 🙂🌱❤️
A Christmas Goose. Good for you. You both have come a long way in a very short amount of time. Becoming experts. A very valuable knowledge.
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.
We have missed you and family. Hope to see 👀 more often
They are SO LOUD 🤣 That intro was so funny as you yelled over them. I fully support the freezer decision, yum!
😁
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.
yes, just like pigs!
I love how Lorraine tries different food ideas with you products from your 🚜 🐖
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.
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.
Lorraine, I love your Chosen t- shirt! I just love the style of your videos and commentary…so informative and easy to follow and enjoy! It’s always a good day when I see you’ve posted a new video!
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.
💛 Happy Autumn🎃 guys!
Thank you for showing the differences between butchering goose and chicken. This will be my reference video. I am sure they will be good to eat.
I have learned so much from your channel and love your lifestyle. Take care🍁
Now with the geese in the freezer you’ll have some peace and quiet! 😅👍🏾
Boy turkey = Stag. How majestic is that x
I hope you saved the hearts they are so tasty.
Great watch! Shows everyone how plans change, and nothing goes to waste on the farm!!
Gorgeous! Everything!!! PIGS WITH FEATHERS!!🤣! PEKING is ok.
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!
I have found that when butchering any water fowl it’s easier to pluck them if you add a little bit of dish soap to their scald y’all keep up the amazing work enjoy watching y’all
I did show you that in this video
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!
Happy Fall
🧡
Y'all stay safe out there.
God bless us all, everyone!!! ⛄🦌🎄🎅🤶✝️
Sounds like a wonderful Christmas🤗❤👍
Thank you.
Oh no I loved the gooses I couldn’t 😳
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!
👍👍 Yeah man, behind you all the way. Enjoy the holidays.
Happy holidays!
Goose fat is good for roasting your potatoes
Best channel going . . . always so interesting . . . you all do day in the life to perfection. Always seriously humorous. Cheers.
Wow, thank you!
i clean my vacuum bags and so can use the again and again until they are too short
great job on the geese hugssssss
Thankyou
You're welcome 😊
Your filming composition is really improving! Loved the flashbacks.
Christmas Goose sounds lovely. My aunt always cooked a Christmas Goose along with a turkey or ham. So tasty.. we all got a taste. 🍁🎃💕🍁
Good for yall! Hope your goose is delicious.
Stopped by the comments to say wild goose pastrami and venison pastrami are both very good; Im sure domestic would be excellent. Relatively easy to make if you've done much for curing.
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!
Love you guys love your land ❤️ hope you have more children to love ❤️ too.
Pasture looks fantastic! 😃
good to see that t-shirt!!!!!
Good job guys !
thanks for the video. have a great day
How exciting to have a Christmas goose for Christmas!,!, sounds perfect to me ! And Tom Turkey for thanksgiving, what else could you have asked for ? Your holidays are ready for this year!
You might consider smoking the smaller goose. Lorraine, your frustration was palpable. You both have accomplished so much in establishing your new property, so take heart and envision the garden of your dreams and be confident that you both will achieve it.
I've never had goose. Sounds like a great Christmas dinner on the homestead.
Means your chickens need more greens. My chickens grt greens from the garden every day. Fruit too. They LOVE sweet potato vines (cows & pigs too.)
Goose fat is wonderful stuff. When you cook the geese do drain the fat regularly.
Now it will be Quite. when you all go out .Good Idea for Christmas Goose. .
Great job!
I said it once I’ll say it again, if your excited about grass growing…. Your living your best life!
My beautiful geese are Chinese Geese. Very big birds. I have raised 3. Ms Hessy, Maggie and Thomas😄. They are pets and live with and look out for my chickens. 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.
Those are Pin Feathers.
My geese are very sweet. They are also guard geese if anyone comes on my farm they let me know.😄
YES!! GEESE HERE IS $140 EA!! & I LOVE IT. ❤️
I've seen so many chicken butchering videos now, and never heard that tip Jason, thank you!
Catching up on watching your videos and listening to commercials. Hope it helps-:) Lorraine, I feel for you too…I would have been devastated 😧 Your family is a great team❤️ You are doing great things on your new homestead…one day at a time, one project at at time…all the things. Like traveling it’s the journey not the destination. You are helping a lot of people see what is possible❤️ This is what matters ❤️❤️Thank you❤️❤️
Love your channel and
Blessings Abound
Cook one and smoke one. Or just cook them 2 different ways and have some fun with it and do a cooking video and a comparison video. I just love you guys
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.

💚 Happy, Happy Fall 🍁🍂. Christmas goose sounds delicious. Bummer about your little garden, Lorraine...maybe put up some stakes and cover with bird netting..that's what I've had to do. 💚
Good idea!
Great loved it!!
So glad!
Thumbs up for the Thanksgiving song!
It sounds like garden fencing options need to be considered this winter.
I remember back when I was a kid, my dad cooked a goose but our cuzing were over so he told them it was turkey lol
Try Sebastopol geese! They’re so stinking cute! 😜
Cover the garden beds sort of mini green house 😂 love 🤠 Peter Cape town
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
Gary
I'd love to see a video at Christmas time of how you cook the goose.
For a minute I thought they were friendly cuddly *Runner Geese* until I saw them spread those wings and say "Peace was never an option!"
Excellent video again next time you do duck goose or other water fowl’s use melted wax for pulling feathers out
Those developing eggs are great in recipes. I hope you used them
❤️
Wow.
FBN has a grow mix that helps the beef put on about 3lbs a day. Just an FYI
Hey, thank you for this video 😉 when do you chop of the head of the goose
I didn't care for goose meat; I believe it is referred to as a cold meat. But lots of people do and I hope you guys enjoy yours.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see all the family working together. Did you weigh the geese?
Advice of the day!!! "REMEMBER TO CLOSE YOUR MOUTH" 😂😂😂😂 Only those that have ever processed their own animals would get this.
you know what I mean! 😄
I find it interesting how wild turkeys get so big and fat without feed. But I guess wild turkey have more time to get big and fat compared to pasture turkeys. That chicken needs a ball and chain 😄
I had a goose many years ago. It bit people too. It bit and twisted my daughters skin so hard it left a scar so I took it to the livestock auction. She stillmtalks about that awful goose.
The geese are so pretty….😢. But understood!
nice video 💜 👍
I know the feeling !! I'm dealing with varmints.
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!
Heather
I absolutely love your Channel! Where did you get that plucker?
Gumbo is excellent with goose
You should've keep the goose down and feather! Make pillows. 💞🤗💞 Of course you need a lot more than you have from the 2 geese. Sorry about your garden Loraine, I would be bummed the same 🤗
Sorry about your trees and Kale
Pigs with feathers. Yep. Anyone that has been around Canada geese knows that.
Okay Jason, time for you to get Lorraine a greenhouse.
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!
Thanks for the video. Good choice on processing the geese. Way too noisey.
Hi.... Jason and Lorraine and Penelope nice to see you all love watching your videos 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐕🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
I'm curious what the weight was on both the geese. Have a great day 🌤 😀.
💕.
