Concepta was first bought as a Christmas present and soon became a loved part of the family.
A midlands goose is bringing joy and delight to her owner and the community.
Concepta the Pomeranian goose who lives on John Dolan's farm in Banagher in Offaly, is welcoming her first clutch of 2026.
First claiming fame in 2024, she has defied normal breeding patterns by producing three separate clutches of goslings in a single 12-month period.
Her owner John says he is excited about what Concepta can do this year:
