Where is MO? Does he sell to the public? I am in Kansas City area
and am having a hard time finding a turkey without "ADDED SOLUTION".

MO = Missouri
By contract he can't sell to anyone since they are technically
Butterballs turkeys.



Sorry, I meant where IN MO. I figured he was probably under contract
but had to ask. The posers that control the food market here think
fresh turkeys can only be sold around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thanks for replying.

I'm in Jefferson City.
My father lives about 30min east of me in a rural area.
Look in your area for poultry butchers.
We have a couple in this area that you can get fresh chicken and turkeys
from yr round.
They are ma'/pa' shops that sell to local restaraunts/meat markets.



Thank you. I will start combing the countryside. There are only 2
listings under "butchers" in the greater Kansas City Yellow Pages. I
guess I will need to get out of town. Thanks, again.

Google 'butchers kansas city'. There are several interesting hits.

These legs came from 40+lbs birds.

These weighed about 2lbs starting weight a piece.

Holy shitaki! Those are some big legs!

The math seems a bit confusing though. If each leg is 21 lbs, these
birds must've had some itty-bitty-tities? Or were they olympic
runners. ;-)

Still LMAO. I saw it as 2 lbs but it does look like 21. And yeah, a
turkey with 21 lb legs must be a bird on steroids or something.

....or an ostrich, perhaps?

Make a great cartoon character, eh? Wait a minute, isn't there one
already? "I say, I say, whatcha doing boy?" Cleghorn or something
like that?

That would be Foghorn Leghorn.

This was all done during "load out" , which means that a 40+lb
bird in MO heat has heart attacks.
He usually cuts out the breast and legs for me and throws into a
cooler of ice.
The other 11,000 birds goes to the plant to become tv dinners or
whatever sliced up.
Butterball only sells about 25lb birds whole.

My brothers in-laws raised turkeys. He helped out sometimes. He said
turkeys are the stupidest animals he has even seen. Put one behind a
20' wide fence, open on both ends, with food/water on the other side,
and he'll starve to death before he figures it out. True?

They are tasty *******s though.

They are dumb birds (not much room in that head for a brain).
But I've never seen them have trouble finding the food or water.

Me and my uncle blasted out a rock that was in the way of a road we were
building, back when I was 12 or so. 1,000 turkeys at a farm down the road
died of heart attacks!

Farmed turkeys are definately not the brightest bulb in the pack. Wanna
see a smart bird though? Try hunting the wild ones, your opinion will
change very quick.

I frequently have to stop my car and wait for flocks (20+ birds) of wild
turkeys to amble across the road, until hunting season opens. Then they
are nowhere to be seen.
