Exhibition Toulouse

The gentle giants of the goose world. Toulouse are truly superb. Their slow gentle nature makes you want to hug them.

The toulouse are a loveley breed. Initially breed for meat they are now in very short supply, and are mainly kept for the show bench. Toulouse are very slow maturing, and it would be unusual to see a young bird at a show. They take many years to reach show perfection - most breeders will not exhibit toulouse under 2yrs or age.

The large dewlap and heavy keel take time to form, but once devloped - there is nothing nicer.

Weighing up to 13 kgs, these big birds are very slow moving. Surprisingly they do not seem to be huge supplement feed eaters and are quiet happy with their grass and bread.

WOW, is a word that sums up these gentle giants very nicely.
