I have done lots of geese.  I can say a big Amen to James' comment on
plucking.  Removing the feathers is slow work.  The down comes
off relatively easily.  We sold a couple of dozen every year for Christmas
dinners and used the down.  Our biggest problem was not tearing the skin
when removing the down.
