I would be open. I’m in MI where are you? One caveat is that I need NPIP certification. Most people don’t get certified, and until the antigen is available I can’t get certified. I am a tester too.
I’ve been trying to buy a sibling pair from someone in NE and she just contacted me and it sounds like it will happen in May. She’s been trying to get certified for a year

If you are interested in goslings there are 2 west coast breeders in PNW who sell them when they can get them but neither was successful last year. And they are not NPIP.
There is the possibility to reserve birds with the Canadian breeders. They deliver to Ohio National in November.

Neither had luck last year and so nothing for sale. One of them, Brad Metzger, sounded like he had found a bird to import from Europe.
There is a Facebook group for Shetland geese that all but 1 of the Canadians, Apricot Waterfowl, belong to. The PNW breeders started the group last year (Goodin and Helvey)

I can never remember the name of Brad’s farm but it’s something like Winter Brook. Both of the Canadians bought a large number of Holderreads breeders so quality should be there.
There is also a really strong group for CPG on Facebook. I hate Facebook but I do use it specifically for that reason.
