The Broad Breasted Bronze and Broad Breasted White were bred as a meat turkey like the Cornish Cross Chicken, max growth in shortest time.
The Standard Bronze are a heritage turkey and smaller. They are still large birds our toms are waist high on me.

That is what I thought...

My Bourbon tom came from the feed store and the owner of the feedstore buys from McMurray. He's a beautiful bird but smaller and lighter than a Bourbon should be so I'll be getting a few Bourbons from Steve this year to add to my flock and hopefully start adding some size to the poults...
I'm a fan! I've currently got quite a few Midgets and while it's not my ideal setup, I've got two toms for every hen. Need to sell a couple of those Toms off but I'm waiting until they're mature enough so that I can keep the best ones.
Personality wise, they're not as much fun as the Bourbons...
