EAGLE NEST'S TURKEY LINES 
Broad-Breasted Turkeys
Selected for muscle quality and total body CONFIRMATION, our market
strains are considered the "Cadillac" of turkeys! Known for feed
efficiency, growth rate and large size, you will find these to be the
finest turkeys you have ever raised! Eagle Nest is PROUD to offer
again this season our HARDY, vigorous turkeys in either white or bronze.
Our BRONZE are especially note worthy as a packer's bird because of
their extremely square breast, thick thighs and short legs. Since
1993, the Ohio State Fair GRAND and/or RESERVE Champion Market turkeys
have been the Eagle Nest Broad-Breasted Whites!
