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.
