The Cotton Patch is an American breed of goose. It was formerly widespread in the south-eastern United States; in the twenty-first century it is an endangered breed. It is named for its traditional use to clear weeds from fields of cotton, corn and other crops. Like most other domestic geese, it derives from the wild species Anser anser. It is an auto-sexing breed – the gander and goose are immediately distinguishable because they are of different colours.
