Hello all!
Just registed today but have been lurking here for over a year now! We raised10 giant whites and 5 BBB turkeys this year. Getting ready to start processing soon. We looked and looked for processors near our area (even put ads on CL in OHIO!) trying to find someone to process our birds. Only found one so far that is about 1 hr and 45 mins away in Ohio. Now here is my issue...
My husband is willing to process them (not sure how comfortable I am with that...) this being his first time. Had we originally went with heritage breeds (like I had wanted!), I think we both would feel better about being able to handle it. These guys are ginormous!!! Should I let him try this himself for the first time? Or does anyone know of a processor here in Pittsburgh or surrounding areas?
Thanks for the advice!!!
BTW, I will NEVER do the giant breeds again!! Heritage or nothing for our farm! LOL!
