Introduction to Grass-Based Chick and Turkey Production |
||||||
An Introduction to Grass-Based Chicken & Turkey Production written and presented by, Herman Beck-Chenoweth. Includes all Powerpoint Slides. From the 1930's to the 1960's free-range poultry was the norm for the United States. With the introduction of the pole-building confinement house this sustainable and profitable system fell into disuse in the States but continued being widely polular throughout the rest of the world. In France alone nearly 25% of all chicken sold is raised using the free-range syatem. In this lively and fast-paced 60 minute presentation made before a live audience Beck-Chenoweth uses over 50 Powerpoint slides to take the viewer to a large Amish Farm that produces over 25,000 chickens, 500 turkeys and 10,200 dozen eggs per year. Information given covers field production, processing and marketing including information about the importance of meat and bone meal in feed rations. Available on-line from Back40Books.com.

Lets Talk Turkey |
||||||
Let's Talk Turkey DVD: Let's Talk Turkey DVD: Free-Range Turkey Production features Herman Beck-Chenoweth, poultry expert, as he details a very flexible, inexpensive, secure and bird-friendly system of raising just 15 or up to 20,000 turkeys per year on range. Covers fencing details, roost construction, farm-built feeders, feed formulas, guard animals, slaughter, ageing and marketing. An extensive array of PowerPoint slides have been edited in for clarity. Here is an excerpt: "Late in the summer, the year before you order your turkeys, you should improve your pastures. We lightly disked the pasture grooving the turf, and broadcast medium red clover into our primarily bluegrass and orchard grass sod. The turkeys are very fond of the clover and like the grass to be about 4-5 inches tall. Before introducing the birds to the pasture we laid 3/4" plastic well pipe on the ground and connected 8' long porcelain coated water troughs we purchased used from the widow of an old-time turkey ranger. Our roosts have evolved over the years. I patterned our early skid roosts after pictures I had seen in FFA textbooks from the 50's, 60's and 70s. They seemed to follow a similar design and finally I found a picture that listed a plan number. After four years of searching I finally managed to get an out-of-print complete set of plans that were originally produced by the Midwest Plan Service. These are excellent roosts, complete with a bill of materials. I have included the plans in my manual Free-Range Poultry Production and Marketing. Incidentally, keep your roost away from trees for it is likely the turkeys will prefer the trees. That's ok, unless the trees are near the edge of your pasture. If so, they may perch at night and fly out of the pasture the next morning. To Order By Phone Call Toll Free: 866-596-9982 |
