Hi Ron, that was me wanting to see if you could grow me a hen for next year? Let me know when you plan on going to Ferntucky next year and I'll be there.
Ahh, yes! I knew there was someone else interested! Fallon is where the Big R Store is, but for you, you'd have to go
through Ferntucky!
The turkey's they had there were all BBB (Broad-Breasted Bronze), a hybrid, which is why mine grew so big. I'm going to investigate the possibility of heritage turkeys for next year. If I decide not to go with those (they're more expensive, for one thing), I'll do the BBB again. I'll let you all know well in advance.
BTW Sheryl the Christmas tree cutting looked like fun! Where did you say you went? Did you use a hand saw? What does a permit cost?
(Edited for spelling
)
The tree cutting was a blast. We go to Dog Valley, it's very easy to get there but the road is very rough with lots of small to medium size rocks. The permit cost $10 per tree maximum 2 trees per household. You get the permit for Dog Valley at the forest service on Franklin St. in Reno near the Alamo truck stop. Once the snow really falls you won't be able to get in there and that's why we always go Thanksgiving weekend if we can. If you want to do it please let me know and I'll help you do it.
Edited to add: Yep, hand saw only is needed. Rope to tie it down to take it home.
