The Buff Tufted Roman Goose is a substantial goose that is both graceful and friendly. They are vocal in response to strangers but otherwise quiet. It is compatible with companion, decorative, and meat goals. They appreciate having a pond to splash around in. Because it is not yet recognized by the American Poultry Association, it is ineligible for most exhibition awards.

The Buff Tufted Roman goose is the result of crossing the Buff Goose with the Tufted Roman Goose. The birds retain the desirable qualities of Tufted Roman geese combined with the buff color. The process wasn't a one-time cross. It required selective breeding to achieve the Tufted Roman conformation in a buff-colored bird. Ruth Book of Book Farms in Granby, Missouri is credited with their development. 

Buff plumage is a soft fawn with a rich golden cast without a reddish tint or fading to pale yellow. Back darker than breast and sides, almost white on the abdomen. Tail feathers are buff and white. The feet, legs, and bill are pinkish-red rather than orange. Orange feet, legs, and bills are acceptable but undesirable.
