So for those of you that raise geese I was curious to ask if certain breeds age better than others, or last longer than the others.

The following link prompted this question below. (But note that the link doesn't discuss breeds but just in general, so in some ways its not helpful.

The average life span for geese of all breeds seems to be in the area of about 24-25 years.

Thank you very much.

That's pretty good actually. Its better than cats and dogs even!

Do you feel that that range is pretty even across the board mostly with most geese breeds?

I would probably guess that larger breeds such as show-type emdbens, toulouse, africans etc are a bit shorter lived, much like large breed dogs.

Also Much like dogs i would think longevity depends on bloodline as well.
