BOOST Your Farm Income With Turkeys! 

Must have the right customers, those that appreciate quality. Those customer are feeling the pinch, my friend. Everyone is feeling the pinch. That is how "they" think they can take us out. In the end, we won't need "them" and we will take care of our family and friends. Keep on keeping on. Prayers!

Great info as always. Planning to do our first turkeys this year. Got the calendar mapped out. 👍🏻

You do such an amazing job! All the animals look so happy and your farm is gorgeous! How do you and Saundra do it all? I’m blown away. Just started my small farm this past year and it’s humbling how much work it is! I do love it tho!! Just wanted to say the bit with the turkeys bum rushing the fence like it’s Black Friday, was awesome!! I’m raising my first turkeys this year… a slow grower- Blue Slates. They are supposedly all dark meat. We will see! They are seven months old so they take almost twice as long to mature!! Thank you also for the turkey processing video!! Wishing you continued success🙏🏽

We are thinking about getting back into turkeys next year and adding them to a CSA program. Want to also add a Christmas goose to our inventory next year as well.

Unfortunately in my region no one will pay what it takes to raise them.

Praying for you👍🇺🇸🦃🐓Great video!

In my neck of the woods turkeys aren't even a good sale at Thanksgiving or Christmas I have a few turkeys they'll just be for family and friends. I'm glad your able to sale yours.

You had some turkey escapees and there headed to Washington DC to meet up with the rest of the flock.

Good information from you bro. Thanks a lot..

Good advice. I* guess I am just too tight for this market. Hats off to you for knowing your market and providing such quality. I cannot see myself paying over $100 for a turkey. But then you knew a long time ago that I am not your market.

Yes sir you are Wright

We raise ab 8 a year for family and friends, definitely expensive to raise them up. We feed non gmo soy free so it really adds up quickly! And there’s a lot of labor in them so I understand what you mean by they aren’t very profitable.

Your craftsmanship is extraordinary! _ "Success is a perpetual journey."

33% loss sounds crazy. I've butchered turkeys but never raised them myself. With meat chickens I find 10% is the loss rate e.g. in a batch of 40 birds 4 will likely die prematurely. Well, with my pigs this winter I guess the farrowing death rate was 46% (stillborns, squishes, exposure deaths, etc.), but that's cos we were flying by the seat of our pants and had a bad set-up. Next round we will do better. (Every piglet who survived the first week did survive to be weaned.)

Semi-related question: Do you ever have issues with rodents or other varmint getting into your feed? We almost need a vault to keep ours untouched but you seem not to have problems at all. Thanks and blessings

Good morning! The door on the electric netting is genius. Did you make that? Did you have a video on it if you did? That would make our life a lot easier. 😂 Thanks for the advice on the turkeys, we have 13 we need to get sold.

I've never seen white turkeys before. I thought they were ducks at first. I'm used to seeing wild turkeys in the forests around here (eastern shore of maryland) and they have black feathers. I'm wondering, how do you keep Canadian geese and other birds from flocking there and eating their feed?

Love the channel. For me (my opinion only and based on my experience) I have not found any difference in frozen or fresh (unfrozen) meat.

"Bacon" that's classic lol

As a retired paramedic, I had to laugh at the RSI. Could you imagine that fiasco!

Dang it! Secondies ..Nooice! 😎 STOC

How much food does turkey need compared to chicken?

👍

Hello....What breed of turkey do you all process?

Turkey is good meat! There are so many things you can make with turkey

Chuck do you ship turkeys or do you only sell them at the farmers market?

For me lneed job in your farm

Can you butcher the turkeys yourself or do they need to go through the whole USDA process butchering?

Where do you buy your poults?

What weight range do you aim for with your turkeys? We waited too late this year to raise any, but we plan on raising some next year.

Pesky turkeys ruining the shot 😂😂

RSI??..... one medic to another... thats funny...

Unless your information is accurate and from a reliable source you should not say it. I heard does not work
