Come on, Mr Muddy! Lol
I seriously love turkeys. Love their noises, their behavior... Just love them. They taste pretty good, too.

Depends on how long you grow-out and genders
I did 3 bronze and a white last year and white hen was smallest at 20# while bronze were 22,23,25 but first year, white tom dressed at 18# @4 months

I'm pretty sure I read on here somewhere that when compared in similar situations as far as feed and living conditions, that the broad breasted whites grew bigger than the broad-breasted bronze. I should dig around to see if I could find that. I think Bob said it, if I remember correctly.

I’ve still got the 25# in the freezer……I need to see if he’s planning to cook it for Mothers Day so I can get all the stuff this week

You just freeze them whole, then? We didn't have the freezer space for that last year due to how many chickens and pigs we raised.

In general…..yes. I was truly surprised the white was smallest last fall.

In hindsight, he said he wished he had cut it up but yes we froze it whole. We didn’t get as much deer and the chickens went into the other chest deep freeze with the garden stuff
