The Turkeys are done !!

Posted on Saturday, November 24, 2007 at 02:56 PM

We are now running on fumes (aka....we're exhausted!!), but the turkeys are ALL processed.  We are finished with turkeys for this year!!  Here are a few pictures of our day.  I left out  all the graphic pictures.  Didn't figure everyone needed to see the whole deal.

Look at what a beautiful day it was.  Here we are processing turkeys at the end of November in 'shirt sleeves'.  There have been years when we were freezing.  We give thanks to the Lord for such a beautiful day to do our work.

Not everyone in the pictures is in our "immediate" family.  Several are from our precious church family.  We couldn't have done it without their help.    We have soooo much to be thankful for.

This last picture was at the end of the day.  Our son was having a little fun!

How many turkey did you guys do? We have tried growing our own turkeys with no luck. Our 1st try we ended up with 2 pet turkeys 2 passed on 1 was a 60 lb male we still have his wife a pet too.People thought we were crazzy to let him get to 60 lbs but he became a pet once evryone else died and he was the only male left. Our last try both died a few months ago. We will try again next year. God Bless. mj

WOW

You did a wonderful job!!! WhooHoo!!! I know the hard work and appreciate it now that I can't easily just go buy what I need and instead have to grow it or raise it! When we do our Turkey next year, I will have to remember to drop you a note for step by step directions!! Have a wonderful week!
