    Way to go Mr Brown helping Papa! Turkey wrangling like a pro! You've come a long way from the Ergo! All I've heard about turkeys is they're fragile and flighty. I feel like with all the predators and no goose, dog or donkey, I'd need to build an aviary on wheels kinda like and enclosed sheep shaw. That could be the next hot thing to build.

    We love turkey and cook at least 1 a month. So many good recipes for the leftovers and it freezes great. When you are down to cooking the bones to remove meat easily for soups and pot pies you can also make great tasting stock and broth for future meals. There's a whole lot more than just a Thanksgiving meal when you cook a turkey!
