Bourbon Red Turkeys

Saturday, I was at a friends house for Bible study and as we were wrapping up, I saw these two lovely turkeys walking across their backyard. This was actually my first experience being near live turkeys.  Crazy, right?  I began asking her husband about their experience with raising turkeys and this particular breed. He said these two turkeys were Bourbon Reds.  They were named “Thanksgiving” and “Christmas” with the original intent of butchering them for the holidays. However, as they matured, they realized they probably had a tom and hen and thought it better to keep them to try and breed.
