Carrie and George Davies
"Every
year we had some turkeys, and usually about ten survived the skunks and
coyotes. We would usually keep one for Christmas and then decide when
we could take the others to Lethbridge to sell. Two days before we
would go to sell them, George would slit their tongues to kill them.
They were then hung by their feet so all the blood drained out. Then
they were laid out on the kitchen table to get all the feathers out.then
we laid them on some newspaper on the living room floor. There was no
heat in the living room, so it was pretty cold in there. Over night they
would freeze. The next day we took the frozen turkeys to market to
sell them."
