Benkov Goose
The Benkov goose is a little-documented regional name for a domestic goose, most useful when understood as a local farm strain rather than a globally standardized breed. It belongs to the greylag-derived domestic goose group, Anser anser domesticus, and may have been maintained for meat, eggs, grazing, and seasonal gosling production. Since published standards are limited, body size, carriage, and plumage are likely to differ among flocks using the name.
For keepers, the important questions are practical ones: where the birds came from, how large the adults become, how reliably they breed, and whether they have been selected for calm handling. Benkov-type geese need the ordinary foundations of utility goose management, including good grass, clean water, predator-safe night housing, and shade in hot weather. If the line is rare locally, breeding from several unrelated families helps preserve it without narrowing vigor.
