When we ordered Royal Palm Turkeys this spring we ended up with two toms and two hens. We were aiming to get one tom and two hens so we were very happy with this arrangement...this way we get a Thanksgiving turkey out of the deal. Mom's parents had butchered their turkeys for Thanksgiving, but this was the first time we have ever butchered one. It was quite an experience. We also had the Neufeld girls over for the day, because God has blessed them with another little sister. Their mamma needed a break so we took care of them. They were so excited to butcher the turkey we could hardly contain them until it was warm enough to butcher.

The butchering quickly became an anatomy lesson. We learned about their tendons and Shea found out which tendon ran each toe. It was really quite amazing the design that went into a simple turkey's foot.

Later that evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Neufeld came to pick up the girls, we met the little one. It was so much fun watching the bond those girls have with little Rebecca already.
Congratulations Neufeld family!!! I hope you have many more such blessings!!!!
