Looks like a domestic Swan Goose x domestic Graylag Goose to me. Ragged neck feathers and bill size indicate Graylag heritage, and large dewlap and high forehead plate suggest Swan Goose.

Hi! Thanks for the info! I didn't know geese could be that big!

Hi Karen! Welcome to Project Noah! This looks like a domestic goose, most likely a Graylag Goose (Anser anser), or a hybrid. Here is some info on these guys: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/crows/domgeese.htm
