Well, it came as a shock to me but this was from a a farm that reared turkeys for the Christmas Market. Of course there are expenses that one would not at first realize.
This is commercial not rearing six turkeys in an old shed. The baby turkey costs
£5.65 and delivered to the Butcher prepared. it costs the total of £50 Goodness knows what the butcher pays or will charge. Of course this is strictly commercial, food cost, £15 and the rest is the a culmination of wages overheads etc. It is a temptation to sell imported Turkey as it is much cheaper. I bet there is a guard costs included it would be a nice haul for would be thieves.

I imagine the industrial turkey-rearing is done as cheaply as they can manage. 🦃

I think back to when I was young and how little i associated the meats on the table with the live animals. Some one here once told me that my meat grows on a tree and that has always made life easier for me.{It was dear old Nauticos}

If one purchases grain to feed the turkey it may be the grain costs at least as much as it would to buy a turkey at the grocery store, already cleaned, feathers pulled, and ready to stuff and bake.

I would make a terrible farmer because I could never eat an animal I raised. Ironically my paternal grandparents and great parents were farmers. 🚜
