Delicious Turkey Photos
We wanted to take a moment to share some of the delicious turkey photos that we received.

It’s almost time…
It’s nearly Thanksgiving and the turkeys are huge!
Take a look at the tom in this picture. I’m not sure what he’s going to weigh once he’s processed, but he looks huge to me. Hopefully it’s not just all feathers.
