The farm, just like any other business, is the goose, knucklehead.
You're forgetting the money invested. The business owner is precisely the person you claim to be irrelevant.
I don't remember arguing that anyone was irrelevant so you look pretty ridiculous when you claim I did something I clearly didn't do.
The goose is an animal on the farm. The analogy is not based on the premise that the goose is selling their own eggs. The goose does the work and the owner sells the product of that work.
Simple analogy that has confused you greatly. Being able to turn around own and sell the product of another person's labor is an incredibly important part of capitalism.
The farmer also labors. As does the manager. Thus the distinction is artificual and irrelevant.
In order for the analogy to fit someone has to own the product of their labor and be threaten to kill it.
