A bit late for Christmas dinner.Merry Christmas and happy Holidays
53f this morning so I harvested a jake....before the rains and colder later today. I have 8 to go before breeding season
How's that for bah Humbug LOL
Everybody was suitably restrained about what they spent on gifts this year. I think even the big Christmas spenders amoung family and friends have realised that it's about getting together, not the presents.
How many lbs of meat? We had turkey for christmas dinner, free range and organically fed. A lot better than the usual shop bought offerings.
I’d like to raise a few turkey for the freezer but I have no place close by to process them. And I won’t kill them myself; have many times cleaned turkey, chicken geese rabbits after some else did the deed…. But it’s a lot of work to clean feathers by hand
Usually they dress out around 12lbs. Sometimes 10lb once I had a 17lb. I didn't weigh and parted him out. I freeze half and cook half for the weeks meat.

If I had a place to process them I would raise them in a flash. So much nicer than the crappy store bought ones.
Nice roasting tray. My mother used to have one like that. Hard to come by over here.
Looks great
