a few pens are naturally bred, a few pens a combination of both, most are AI to keep them in show condition.

I have used AI on BWS turkeys when I worked with them with success! It's kinda a two person job thoug and my husband was not keen on helping me with this. He said it was on his "unbuket" list lol
