I was going to write an article about our turkeys in this magazine edition, but it was not exactly a happy story to put in December 2013 edition of the e-Zine. The holidays are thought of as happy times when families get together and share their time and love for each other. So I will save the story about our turkeys for a later edition; how we raised them, how we butchered them, and what many of us learned from the process. I applaud all of these who came out to learn how to do this as it is not an easy task, and most of us are far removed from having to prepare our own meats for consumption the way that we did with the turkeys.

 

Here are some pictures of our birds...
