>>>>>The turkeys were about 3/4's the size of the geese. One of the geese would hit a turkey in the thigh and momentarily cripple them, then the two would beat the turkey to death with their wings. Saw the first part happen and by the time I could get out to the 'bird yard' it was over.

>>>The turkeys raised here get about twice the size of a goose (not linear, but by mass or volume). A turkey drumstick of 0,7 kg isn't anything special.

We hardly ever have ribs or good BBQ at events out here. As Topeka is less than an hour from KC it seems kinds odd.

We did go to a charity event last fall in Topeka that really brought out the BBQ though - most of the famous KC joints were there. Mmmm - mmmm!

Luckily the company (not mine - Bartlett&West) paid for the tickets - I think they were $200 a pop.
