Geese

21 years ago

Hello,

How helpful this forum is to me!

Now, I have a question I need some help with.

Can anyone tell me how you go about finding out what poultry is valued at?

I have someone who wants to buy some live geese from me for meat, and I really have no idea what they are worth. They are mature white geese. Embdem by the look of them and likely 15 - 20 lbs live.

Can you suggest how you would find out the value?

Thanks,

Well, if you don't get any better information, some friends of ours are selling organic pasture-raised chicken for $3.25 a pound.

Check with your local grocery stores to see how much they charge per pound for their frozen whole geese. You should be able to charge considerably more per pound for a fresh dressed goose, although if they are buying it live and have the work of killing and cleaning then you would have to make allowance for that.

How much did they cost as goslings? How much purchased feed did they consume? These can provide some guideline, plus your labour costs in raising them and a reasonable profit. Ask plenty - if they cringe, ask them what they think is reasonable. Then compromise between the two figures.
