Turkeys for sale!

This is one of our friends with Emilee, he works for Les Schwab and bought her turkey. Businesses from Tooele County show up and bid on the turkeys. They go for hundreds of dollars.
On Tuesday Erin and Emilee went to the County Turkey Show to sell their turkeys. They have been raising 11 turkeys since July. The turkeys weren't very big. This is our first year. They averaged 14-21 pounds.

The girls were actually excited and sold their turkeys for a lot of money. But they are only allowed to sell one turkey each at this sell.


This was a great experience for the whole family. Between raising pigs and turkeys the girls and Collin have learned a lot about being responsible. We are very proud of them.

This is actually really cool! Raising the turkeys doesn't sound fun, but this other stuff does! They both look proud standing up waiting for their turkeys to be bid on! So neat!
