TG should dress about 30lbs. Very nice bird, well mannered. The hen will go about 19-20lbs.

Yeah,

I'll certainly feel a bit sad on butcher day, but the turkeys are livestock that we treat VERY well. Hand fed birds. I figure we have over $50-75 into this big guy, but he wouldn't be in great shape next year because of the breeding that is necessary for the type of bird they are, and he would likely be 50lbs dressed. They eventually outgrow their frame and break down. They can't mate. My other turkeys are heritage breeds, so they will be self sustaining, but smaller.

As far as how I'll do it, remember that Sarah Palin video?

2 weeks and counting.

A friend raised three such turkeys. He named them Thanksgiving, Christmas and Super Bowl. Thanksgiving made it to the dinner table, but after all the work it took to get him there; the other two got pardons.

My dog met this turkey. He didn't know what to make of it. Slowly approached and did the stare down. Then he sniffed it's butt, gave the hmm look and walked away. It was pretty funny.

Then Letty drove up and snagged it off it's roost. Kinda wrecked the whole day.

Andy to answer you question in a different thread I believe I have had a couple of threads locked....I think you are still ahead of me though. I will try harder.

Get the butter out.......

You gonna do the tomahawk chop over a block of wood?

If it were me, I'd set up a game blind call him in and have the kid smoke him with the 12 gauge...

Just saying....

Don't forget to have someone from Enumclaw add the stuffing before you kill it.

Nice bird, for sure. Hand-fed and all, it should taste as nice as it looks.

Happy Thanksgiving, Dogfish.
