These breeders are strong rams who have broken a horn fighting! These are still trophy animals and we have the horn for the taxidermist if that is what you are looking to do with the animal. If we were in Texas or Hawaii these animals would be on the wall! Both rams are excellent breeders and one is out of stock from Texas so if you want a new blood line this is the animal for your breeding program.

ewes have been doctored and we are ready for the 2010 breeding season
to start. Turkey pen is almost complete, so the free range is going to
be limited when the poults are not flying. We have 9 little poults now
but survival in the free range world is a bit challenging. Look like
we will have two poults for sale soon.
