"Official" weight of goose
For those who asked, we weighed the deceased goose this morning on Wyatt's rabbit scale. This is a pretty good scale used for weighing market rabbits for the 4-H fair to ensure they are within weight limitations and for checking uniformity of market pens of 3. It weighs to the ounce.
The goose tipped the scale at 15 pounds even, probably a record for me. If you check the photo I started this thread with, you will notice it is quite broad in the breast.
Here are a couple of photos from last year showing the size variations we see around here. I may have shown these before, but here they are again. For eating, the smaller the better in my book!
