Thanks everyone, it is sad, but stuff like this happens on the farm.

In other news...I'm picking up 5 geese tomorrow! I'm going to slaughter 3 of them (New Year's Eve dinner!)and keep a pair to hopefully raise goslings next year.

Millie is doing well. She has an appointment to get her drains taken out tomorrow. She is feeling a little too well on her pain meds. Darn Border Collies. They feel no pain.

Border collies do not like sitting around watching the tube do they? Glad she is feeling better and I hope she recovers fast.

What kind of geese?

They sure don't! And Millie is the calmest of our BC's........she's being pretty good about keeping still.

The geese are geese. The guy I got them from didn't know what breed and I'm not a goose expert at all. I suspect they are barnyard mutts. 3 are going to be dinner and I am keeping a pair.

All five

The female (white) that I'm keeping

The male that I'm keeping

The white ones are more than likely Embden geese and the colored ones are more than likely Twente Landrace geese.
