Question about turkeys.

[tsuya]

Hello. I'm tsuya's mom and I have turkey questions. How many years do a breeding pair mate for? And if turkeys are to be used for food when is the best time to butcher them? We have never had turkeys before so I thought it best to get the info first.

Their is not magical number as far as how many years they breed. You can butcher them at the weight you want them to be.

Thanks Kuntrygirl; I will pass this information over to my mother. We are planning on getting a few turkeys next year for breading/food.
