Sounds like the way forward and something all countries should be aiming to do.
How are you measuring the feed efficiency? Is it single sire mobs of finishing lambs and estimating grass consumption in paddocks?
Sounds like you could do with some Exlana in there!!! @Tim W

These Kiwis are a bit slow on the uptake but they'll get there ;)
They have breeders that have been championing the dark side for years (Allan Richardson of Avalon Genetics etc--who came to see us on his Nuffield tour in the '90's )

One of mine did fly away recently, never to be seen again.
Geese don't like anything to be different, if I took the fence down altogether it would be a few days before they even crossed where it used to be. The one that flew away was because I put them in a different field and it upset them. Strange creatures but lots of fun and taste amazingly good!
My Gander and Drake have had several all out fights lately. Drake won the first and Gander won the second. Drake was hurt and has now disappeared. That Gander is an aggressive one and is constantly chasing everyone away from his Goose. Too bad they have never managed to rear any young, which is one of the reasons I have tolerated the geese all these years.

What kind of geese do you have that a drake can beat up the gander? I’d worry my ganders would rip a ducks head off. You can feel them hit each other from across the yard!
