Is this a good deal on a turkey?

[LindsayB]

My husband and I found someone that was selling their turkeys left over from our local FFA auction. They only have hens and they are around 40 lbs. each for $15. Is this a good deal? I would love to buy 2 and butcher them for the holidays.

I would say that is a great deal, do you know what breed

 

[LindsayB]

BBW. How much do you think they would weigh after being dressed?

We sold our extra fair turkeys for $25.

Buy them now.

We just did two BBW this weekend & one dressed out at 12 pounds, & the other at 20, but they were only 4 months old. We got tired of all the turkeys. Now our BBB that was 5 months dressed out at 39 pounds so the difference a month can make!

Yep, I'd say that's a good deal. I'd guess they'll probably dress out in the 25 lb range, so 60 cents or so per lb.

That's a good deal, go for it.
