teeeheeee - the mind boggles!!
We had geese and they were fine... unless it was egg time in which case they were VERY protective... Fine if you don't turn your back on them that is Stoney lmao
Glad to see you are beginning to recover from your painful experience Batfink!!
No real livestock injuries here but a bloke that lived near me had a cow fall on him - it was in a field at the edge of the road and obviously leaned on the fence and fell down (high edge field lol) - not pleasant, but he lived to tell the tale and many more! What a guy :)

Go on Stonehead !
tell us about the Goose !
I've 2 geese and a gander .. 1 goose (Babylon - ie the white opressor) and Bald-head (gander, ie the one who works for Babylon) can be annoying sometimes because she's still laying ..
What I have to do when they come "whistling" .. is sing !
I sing "Babylon must go down !" and "we're gonna chase them crazy baldheads out of town" in a reggae style and then sing along and almost dance ! well not the dancing part .. but they go quiet and start hin ehonk quietly again !
But so far .. touching wood .. no injuries even with the neighbours cows or anything...
