Do Stow tm Geese take the same time to fatten as SuperStow tm?

How many geese can I keep on one acre of grass?

The number of geese you can keep will depend on the land itself. If the land is well draining and the grass grows well then somewhere in the region of 100 geese would be reasonable. Geese have a voracious appetite and will eat a field bare killing all grass, trees and other plants in a matter of weeks if an insufficient area is allowed.

Do geese make good pets?

Geese can be kept as pets and used to keep the grass short in gardens and orchards. You are able to buy day old goslings from our partner Norfolk Geese, who are happy to provide any quantity.
