Reviews for: Kelly Turkeys

Thank you for you kind words!

Absolutely true, unlike commercial operations that start harvesting and freezing turkeys in September we do not harvest until just before Thanksgiving. If you want the freshest turkey you have ever had in the USA we product it! Although we start spot checking the flocks weights in August there was no reason to believe we would not have heavy birds (22lb and up) in 2021. We produced 45 heavy birds the years before, same genetics, same farm, same management different weather in 2021 and no birds over 22lbs not one! It was devastating for us. Although we were unable to produce the 27lb Turkey for Stuart please see our response below. In addition, this year 2022 we have added more toms to the flock to hopefully never have a repeat of our 2021 season. Stuart, We are very disappointed as well, it is devastating to work so hard all year to then come up short of 33 large birds. We do everything we can but at the end of the day it is always an educated guess. Sorry for the trouble this has caused you. Please let us know if you would like a 19, two 19?s or two 13?s, we have an overabundance of 19s. The flock was very healthy this year and very even just no huge ones. In addition, they plucked amazingly well and have a huge amount of fat this year. JUDD
