I am thinking you may be able to HOT process it if the cold process doesn’t work….I hope it DOES work out.

It definitely gives you respect for the time and effort it takes to raise your food. And great stats on the Bourbon Reds. We keep on trying different breeds and will focus on only one this year – maybe Reds!

Beyond the first 6-7 weeks where they required daily attention, they were so easy to care for. With help from our neighbors, we butchered the Sunday before Thanksgiving – hens were 6.5 and 7.5 lbs, toms were 15, 17.5, and 19 lbs. Will definitely do it again – a great biology lesson for adults and kids alike! A friend down the road from you on Lovgreen raised heritage turkeys as well (Naragansett), and kept two for breeding – will be interesting to see if she gets viable eggs and poults. Cheers, Carolyn

You might be able to get a few weathers at the end of the season if a breeder has surplus that they can’t easily sell. But there are not a lot of them…
