Wasn't too sure how to title it. If I think of something better I'll change it.
Instead of creating multiple threads, I figure I would just have them all in this one. If you raise meat turkey, duck, or chickens, go ahead and pipe in. I would love to raise them all(one day...).
Give me the run down on raising meat birds. The cost to purchase, the cost to feed, the price you sell them at, and your profits. The time and effort spent on raising those birds(how many times you move the tractor a day/how you refill the waterers) and the customers demands(Do you have trouble selling out? Or can you not raise them fast enough?) Also, what size tractor you keep them in.
I am seriously considering building some tractors and pasturing some meaties. I like to do my research before I step neck deep in something and find myself in a hole.
I'm curious and want to know the numbers behind it all. I see people selling meaties on here for $2 a pound and it makes me wonder, is all that effort really worth it for those you raise several batches a year.
