As the name suggests, this breed has its origins in the hills of Breconshire, Wales. The overall buff colour, unique among British geese, attracted Rhys Llewellyn who is credited with collecting and developing this breed in the late 1920’s and working with them, until they were breeding true. The standard was initially published in “ Feathered World” in 1934 and then in Britain in 1954. It is a hardy, light boned with maximum flesh, an active breed and is more prolific than ultra heavy breeds.
