Turkeys

[Doug]

Hi everyone,
I thought you might enjoy seeing what a 57 pound bronze turkey looks like. My kids raised turkeys this year from chicks that they got just before Easter.

Look at the drumsticks on that big boy! Will you have to cook it in a commercial oven or what!

You mean there were two other Turkeys larger than that one! Just look out if those kids want to raise a Calf next year! John

I would have atleast waited till Thanks giving. That bird may have put on a few more pounds.

some friends of ours raise turkeys like that i think, the ones he had last year were so fat they could hardly walk, thats when he butchered them. I think one dressed out like 45 pounds or so. They were huge.

You told me on the phone but it's hard to imagine one that size until you see it....

Great turkey Doug...
