Aging in Geese breeds question

So for those of you that raise geese I was curious to ask if certain breeds age better than others, or last longer than the others.

Goose Life Span?

What is the normal life expectancy of geese? I've seen a bunch of pictures and stuff labeled as like 20-something year old geese, but I'm wondering if that's unusually old for them or normal for well-taken care of birds. I just want to know if I'm telling people the wrong thing or if there...
