Saying Goodbye to Two Old Friends
We had a couple of hard losses on the farm this summer. Tom, our 7 year old Heritage Bronze turkey was starting to decline and he finally reached a point where his quality of life just didn't overcome his problems any longer. He had a good run, at 7 years old!
Sadly, Goose had such a strong bond with Tom, and we think he was brokenhearted. He followed his best buddy to barnyard heaven a week later, at over 30 years of age.
We will miss these two irascible characters. Farewell, feathered friends.... may there be nothing but sunny pasture wherever you are!
