Raising Large Fowl Welsummer, RC Rhode Island Red,
(02-15-2008)
White Sebastopol
Class: Medium Class
The Sebastopol, one of the oldest domestic varieties of geese, reputed to have come originally from Turkey and the vicinity of the Black Sea, is bred both for ornament because of its odd and beautiful appearance, and also for its economic qualities being prolific, hardy, and excellent for the table. Gander and goose are similar except that the goose is somewhat smaller.
Admitted to Standard in 1938.
ECONOMIC QUALITIES
Commercial geese are raised primarily for meat and feather production. Today the economic qualities of geese are less important for meat and feathers in a society which consumes very little waterfall per person than when it is sold for exhibition purposes. If not for exhibition value, many breeds would be lost to crossbreeding and neglect resulting from the absence of a meat marketability for most breeds.
