This is one of the very specific reasons that small holds are more efficient by far than factory ag.  When you choose meat producers for the big pay-off and machinate endless ways to kill the overhead or transfer the cost to whoever can't complain, you get Angus.  When you choose meat production for how it will fit in your particular needs and conditions you might get a mad mix of poultry like chicken, geese, guinea fowl, ducks and turkey for eggs, meat and pest control, plus a couple of goats or a jersey for dairy products and a few fish in the water tank.  You find that you suddenly have enough meat to feed out a large family and a half a dozen farm hands all of which are much thriftier feeders than, well, Angus.

In a corporate farm a broad-breasted turkey takes only about 75 pounds of feed to raise a 30-pound male, a tom. By contrast, ranchers must supply many times that much feed to put 30 pounds on a cow. I don't know how much a farmer has to feed a turkey that is herded through the fields. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson released flocks of turkeys to remove worms from their tobacco plants. Definitely a dual use bird.   Probably the reason ol' Benjamin Franklin thought such industrious birds should be our national bird over the eagle who's habit of scavanging lent itself to BJ's remark about "Bad moral character"

I really need to find some space for some of these birds, when I get to cooking for T-day I will often cook a couple of birds to get 30 or 40 lbs for my huge crowd and it would just blow their minds if this were in one bird.  Nobody sells a 35lb bird tho.

Yours, Pego
