History; A recently developed Welsh
Breed that was officially recognized as an individual
true breed in 1934 based upon stock used by Brecon
farmers (...at last a breed used to rain and mud ?) .
They are hardy breed well and respond to being allowed to
forage rather than be kept in a yard.*****Check if buying
this breed that the stock has bright almost
'Schapparelli' pink legs and beak...the beak colour
gradually becomes pinker in the gosling and can often be
born with a mucky pinkish orange bill which changes as
they fledge.Many of the buff coloured gslings and geese
sold are Not Brecon Buff
Geese ..if in doubt ask to see the parent stock.They do
not have a keel .
