Raise turkeys for the NC State Fair! February 20, 2011

The 4-H Youth Market Turkey Program begins in June when youth receive day-old turkey poults from NCSU’s poultry facility.  For 5 months, each youth is responsible for raising 1 to 4 poults.  In October, they enter their best turkey.  On the 1st Friday of the NC State Fair each participant is placed in a class with 15 or less competitors.  Youth show their bird & answers judges’ questions.  The overall weight of the turkey, the muscling in the breast & legs, and how well each youth has taken care of their bird are all evaluated.
