Luise | Goose

Luise belongs to a goose breed that is threatened with extinction, namely the Steinbach battling goose. Due to her advanced age (approx. 10 years), there were no more offspring and so the breeder asked us to take Luise and Walter in at Gut Aiderbichl. Their new forever home is now Gut Aiderbichl Carinthia.
