I always get the smallest turkey I can find. It looks like I will have no trouble finding one this year.

I’d be interested in what they fed these turkeys that kept them from gaining weight.
Or maybe they stopped pumping them full of hormones.

Talk about a non-story. The news media truly sucks! The demand is not there this year for fresh birds.

Who cares about this? Butterball is not the only turkey in town.

There is a whole gaggle at 1600 Penn. Ave. in DC. There goes a rafter of them now.

Maybe they have cancer and can not gain weight!

Poultry is effected by many things, including weather. May have been a hot spell or could have been an incorrect feed mix. I bet they know or suspect what the issue was, just choose not to share it for some reason.

Butterball is anything but “fresh.”

In a free market economy, there is no such thing as a shortage. Only a shortage at a given price.

Very good point, thanks for the reminder, hayek.
Probably what BB means is that it will not put out as many turkeys as in previous years. :)
To: SoFloFreeper
More & more people are using the hot oil fryers for their turkeys. Those units cannot handle a turkey much larger than 14 pounds.
Also- I needed a second turkey roasting pan. I still cannot find one as large as the one I have had for over 40 years.
To: SoFloFreeper
There’s no turkey shortage, in fact there’s a huge surplus. They’re called Obama voters.
