Re: Boomer's first turkey neck

["Deb & Boyd McFail" <bdmcfail@alaska.net>]

Hi gal,

Most of my turkey necks are the toms which is ok for the bigger dogs and
I'll just whack off the narrow end for Boomer for now. I'll check with my
wholesaler tho and see if hen necks are available and of course for how
much, lol.
