pair make good representatives!
Bred to weed between the rows of the important fiber crop cotton (because they don't like broad leaves and will pluck grasses instead), Cotton Patch Geese were vital to sharecropper families after Emancipation and to poor families in general through the Great Depression. After broad-spectrum herbicides were introduced, however, they fell out of favor. Dedicated breeders (us included!) are working to bring back this goose breed from the brink of extinction. They're small, friendly, sexually dimorphic, and great at co-parenting -- an ideal choice for new farmers. As of the end of 2018, there are about 440 breeding adult Cotton Patch Geese left in the world. This print shows two of them, surrounded by the crop they were bred to weed!
