00:00:06.000 Hey guys, happy Thanksgiving.
00:00:08.000 Welcome to the Thanksgiving episode.
00:00:10.000 I thought I'd take you to meet my friend Lynn.
00:00:12.000 She runs Ferguson Family Farms.
00:00:14.000 She raises cattle and turkeys.
00:00:18.000 Let's see where your turkey comes from. 1.00
00:00:20.000 Hi, Lynn.
00:00:21.000 Hi, Gavin.
00:00:22.000 How are you?
00:00:22.000 Great.
00:00:23.000 Let's go to the farm.
00:00:24.000 All right.
00:00:25.000 Thanksgiving farms.
00:00:27.000 Going to see the turkeys.
00:00:31.000 You ready?
00:00:32.000 Yep.
00:00:32.000 Here we go.
00:00:34.000 Whoa, whoa, boat out!
00:00:35.000 Boat out!
00:00:36.000 Take it easy!
00:00:37.000 Oh my god, woman! 1.00
00:00:39.000 This is reckless!
00:00:48.000 So you grew up as a city girl, med school construction background, and you decided, screw it, I don't like any of this.
00:00:54.000 I want to be a turkey farmer.
00:00:56.000 So when you were a kid, you were thinking white picket fences.
00:01:00.000 Yep.
00:01:01.000 Gonna marry the doctor, you know, everything's gonna be pretty, roses, you know.
00:01:06.000 And what I realized that later down the line, dad got prostate cancer, mom came down with lung cancer, and what I started realizing is something's wrong with their food system.
00:01:18.000 I said, I gotta fix this.
00:01:19.000 I told her, you're not gonna eat meats, eggs from the grocery store.
00:01:23.000 She's like, what are you gonna do?
00:01:24.000 I said, I'm gonna figure out how to raise this for the family.
00:01:28.000 We started out with eggs.
00:01:29.000 So we had layer chickens, and then we went to meat chickens.
00:01:33.000 And then we went to, I was buying other meats from local farms that I thought was sustainable, pastured outside.
00:01:42.000 And I took a turn from there and realized one year the turkeys weren't quite tasting like what I remember.
00:01:49.000 We bought that turkey year after year after year and realized that we're not getting the same turkeys.
00:01:55.000 You tasted when your turkeys were going into confinement.
00:01:59.000 Yes, you can tell that right away.
00:02:01.000 As soon as you're eating the turkey, if you know what that food is supposed to taste like, you can taste an all-natural, gets hit all the keywords, all natural turkey from a turkey that has lived outside.
00:02:14.000 Because they're getting bugs, they're getting weeds, they're getting, you know, grasses and stuff like that.
00:02:20.000 Variety of food.
00:02:21.000 Because that term's kind of been bastardized, organic.
00:02:24.000 Exactly.
00:02:25.000 And free range.
00:02:26.000 But you do the initial meaning of the word, which is they can move all over the place.
00:02:31.000 Correct.
00:02:32.000 Correct.
00:02:32.000 Can we go see them?
00:02:33.000 Yes, certainly.
00:02:35.000 You got two turkey zones here.
00:02:37.000 Yes.
00:02:38.000 Two different ages.
00:02:41.000 These are the younger turkeys.
00:02:42.000 So these turkeys will be 12 to 16, 18 pounds.
00:02:47.000 Why do you separate the two ages?
00:02:48.000 Oh, because they're coming in differently.
00:02:51.000 They will end up killing each other.
00:02:53.000 Oh, really?
00:02:53.000 Yeah, well, they don't like strangers.
00:02:55.000 If a bird flew in here, they'll come up.
00:02:58.000 So they're aggressive guys?
00:03:00.000 They are pretty...
00:03:03.000 When they're together, they can be pretty big carnivores.
00:03:08.000 Really?
00:03:09.000 Yeah, so if they decide they don't like you, you know, it could be one out of this flock.
00:03:13.000 They will end up, like, pecking him to death.
00:03:16.000 Literally.
00:03:17.000 I mean, it's pretty vicious.
00:03:20.000 Have they ever attacked you?
00:03:21.000 No, no, because I'm mommy hen.
00:03:24.000 What are you going to do?
00:03:25.000 You tough?
00:03:25.000 You tough guy?
00:03:26.000 You want to get in, talk to him?
00:03:28.000 Yeah.
00:03:28.000 All right.
00:03:29.000 So what I do is.
00:03:30.000 Oh, it's not electric?
00:03:31.000 No, I turned it off.
00:03:32.000 Oh, good.
00:03:32.000 I didn't feel like he had.
00:03:34.000 I could have left it on as a joke.
00:03:36.000 Who's tough now?
00:03:37.000 Who's the tough guy now?
00:03:39.000 Talking a big game when there's a fence there.
00:03:42.000 I'm here.
00:03:43.000 I'm right here, tough guy.
00:03:45.000 Oh, now we see your true colour.
00:03:47.000 You're not you out here on your own.
00:03:49.000 Now I'm getting a little scared.
00:03:51.000 This is kind of getting Alfred Hitchcocky.
00:03:54.000 I'm bluffing.
00:03:55.000 Fine, you got me.
00:03:56.000 I'm bluffing.
00:03:57.000 If you attacked me now, I'd probably scream.
00:04:02.000 Get out of here.
00:04:04.000 Get out of here.
00:04:06.000 They look delicious.
00:04:08.000 They do.
00:04:09.000 There you go, Gavin.
00:04:10.000 Just make a nice line of this.
00:04:12.000 You guys want to do a line?
00:04:15.000 Yeah, it's not what you think, Gavin.
00:04:17.000 It's actually corn.
00:04:21.000 You guys will notice after you do a line, you get real chatty.
00:04:24.000 We're feeding you so we can eat you.
00:04:27.000 But we don't tell them that.
00:04:29.000 It'll hurt their feelings.
00:04:31.000 Don't you think it's strange that you get free food?
00:04:34.000 You don't think there's going to be a catch?
00:04:36.000 There is a catch.
00:04:37.000 Your food.
00:04:39.000 We're going to eat you. 1.00
00:04:41.000 It's a beautiful tradition.
00:04:42.000 It's called Thanksgiving and the whole family's there.
00:04:45.000 It's sort of like this, but much more civilized because we're better than you.
00:04:52.000 Anyway, enjoy it while it lasts.
00:04:56.000 How is the economics of all this?
00:04:58.000 Like, how much does it cost you per turkey to raise?
00:05:04.000 You're looking at about $25 in fee, especially on the bigger ones.
00:05:09.000 And the processing is another $20 plus dollars.
00:05:12.000 So that's $50 a turkey.
00:05:14.000 How much can you sell them for?
00:05:15.000 They're $4.75 a pound.
00:05:17.000 So $50 to keep a turkey.
00:05:20.000 You can't sell it for $50, though.
00:05:22.000 No.
00:05:22.000 No.
00:05:23.000 So that's a loss.
00:05:24.000 So the smaller birds, if you've got a 12-pound bird, you're most likely breaking close to even.
00:05:31.000 But I have the smaller birds because my customer base, some want small turkeys and some want big turkeys.
00:05:38.000 You're making your profit selling the bigger turkeys.
00:05:40.000 I grew up in Canada and I was surprised when I moved here in the 90s how important Thanksgiving is to Americans.
00:05:48.000 It's like the whole country shuts down that entire week.
00:05:52.000 Nothing's open.
00:05:53.000 They really, it's almost bigger than Christmas in a way.
00:05:56.000 Yes.
00:05:57.000 Well, it's the biggest travel day, right?
00:05:59.000 Yeah.
00:06:00.000 So Thanksgiving is the biggest travel day, not Christmas.
00:06:03.000 Do you kind of dread it as it comes?
00:06:04.000 Because this is showtime for you.
00:06:07.000 It is showtime.
00:06:08.000 A lot of work, a lot of preparation.
00:06:10.000 You've got trucks, you've got manpower, you've got trailers, you've got boxes, you've got sorting, you've got refrigeration, and you hope it all comes together.
00:06:18.000 When does busy season begin for you?
00:06:20.000 Now.
00:06:20.000 Huh?
00:06:21.000 Yeah, it's game on.
00:06:23.000 Can we go see the other birds?
00:06:25.000 The little ones?
00:06:29.000 Settle down.
00:06:30.000 We're going to see the turkeys.
00:06:31.000 Nothing to do with you.
00:06:33.000 That's Nobby.
00:06:34.000 He was a rescue goose.
00:06:36.000 Coolant, Nobby.
00:06:40.000 Come on, turkeys.
00:06:43.000 Come on, turkeys.
00:06:45.000 Come on, turkeys.
00:06:51.000 So these birds will push 18 to 20 pounds, 24 pounds at the highest.
00:06:58.000 Most of these are hen turkeys, so what you're seeing.
00:07:01.000 I didn't realize, I always thought turkeys is five years old or something, but you get them as babies, what are they called?
00:07:07.000 Plutes?
00:07:08.000 Pults.
00:07:08.000 Pults.
00:07:10.000 In the spring, and then you sell them by Thanksgiving.
00:07:13.000 Correct.
00:07:13.000 They come in and get a whole new turkey farm every year.
00:07:16.000 Correct.
00:07:17.000 Yep, everything gets eaten down.
00:07:20.000 The earth has chance to rest, rejuvenate.
00:07:23.000 The manure composts, and the spring it comes up green again.
00:07:29.000 I mean, even vegetarians, they probably go, you did have a pretty good year.
00:07:33.000 You got to hang out with your friends and eat food.
00:07:36.000 And have one bad moment.
00:07:37.000 One bad moment.
00:07:38.000 One bad moment.
00:07:39.000 Do you kill them here?
00:07:40.000 No.
00:07:40.000 I take them to a USDA processor, and the USDA processor basically kills them.
00:07:46.000 They bag them and weigh them for me.
00:07:48.000 Oh, cool.
00:07:49.000 They don't seem really into being picked up.
00:07:51.000 Hi, how would you feel about me picking you up?
00:07:58.000 A lot of strength around the wings.
00:08:00.000 That's it.
00:08:00.000 I'm squeezing it real hard.
00:08:03.000 Okay, let go of me, though.
00:08:04.000 I telegraph you.
00:08:05.000 This is really freaky.
00:08:10.000 I'm holding my hands on the bottom.
00:08:11.000 Now while Gavin has her, you notice the beak isn't cut off.
00:08:16.000 And here's her little ears. 1.00
00:08:19.000 Do you know where her eyes are, Gavin?
00:08:20.000 Right in front of the ears.
00:08:22.000 Very good.
00:08:23.000 All right, I'm going to let her go.
00:08:25.000 And she's going to go nuts. 0.99
00:08:26.000 Yeah, she's going to fly. 1.00
00:08:27.000 One, two, three.
00:08:28.000 Help me, Levito.
00:08:30.000 Oh, my gosh.
00:08:31.000 That wasn't so bad.
00:08:34.000 Here you go, Gavin.
00:08:36.000 So we got a male here, right?
00:08:38.000 Correct.
00:08:39.000 They're bigger, stronger, tougher.
00:08:41.000 Tom Turkey.
00:08:42.000 Tom Turkey?
00:08:43.000 Tom Turkey.
00:08:44.000 Male.
00:08:44.000 It's called the Tom Turkey.
00:08:46.000 He does have a male air about him.
00:08:48.000 Look at him.
00:08:48.000 He's got his feathers puffed out there.
00:08:51.000 Oh, the male, he's strutting his stuff saying, hey, ladies, I want to see you.
00:08:57.000 You know, look at me.
00:08:58.000 Well, all that, I want to see you usually makes him not eat as well if you look at him puffing up like that.
00:09:06.000 Yeah, I think in the human world this year, that's frowned upon.
00:09:09.000 Liberals don't want men being masculine. 1.00
00:09:12.000 No, no.
00:09:13.000 So that's why we want to eat all hen turkeys this year.
00:09:16.000 We're strong, we fatten up, we can get the job done, and we taste great on the plate.
00:09:22.000 I couldn't agree more.
00:09:23.000 I hate to tell you this, but us girls do like the male around once in a while.
00:09:29.000 Maybe not all the time.
00:09:30.000 We don't want to confess to that, but it makes for a better culture, both in the chicken world as well as the turkey world.
00:09:37.000 The girls are calmer when there's a male presence.
00:09:41.000 Huh.
00:09:42.000 So if the feminists get their way and we get rid of the males, it'll be a much more dangerous society. 1.00
00:09:46.000 Correct.
00:09:47.000 A patriarchy works.
00:09:49.000 Yeah.
00:09:50.000 I hear you.
00:09:51.000 There's a reason for it.
00:09:52.000 They keep knocking us.
00:09:54.000 But ladies, trust us.
00:09:55.000 You don't want to get rid of us.
00:09:57.000 Well, I hate to say this, and I got to agree with you.
00:09:59.000 When the tire goes flat on your vehicle, who do you call?
00:10:04.000 A male.
00:10:05.000 Call your girlfriend, you know.
00:10:06.000 Hey, Sue, can you come help me?
00:10:08.000 No.
00:10:09.000 You usually call the guy.
00:10:12.000 He knows what to do.
00:10:13.000 Yeah.
00:10:14.000 Well, he's got the balls to handle it.
00:10:18.000 And if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
00:10:20.000 Let's see some cows.
00:10:33.000 It's getting hot.
00:10:35.000 Hey, Gavin.
00:10:37.000 Why don't you try lifting that and feeding the cows? 1.00
00:10:41.000 No problem.
00:10:43.000 I need some manly manliness.
00:10:47.000 You go, young man.
00:10:48.000 That's not electrified, is it?
00:10:50.000 No, but it would be funny.
00:10:53.000 Just drop it right there and see if we can get them to come out and talk to you.
00:10:58.000 Here, cows, have some hay. 0.67
00:11:01.000 Now, if you notice, they're chewing their cud.
00:11:05.000 Okay.
00:11:06.000 Do you have a knife on you?
00:11:07.000 No.
00:11:08.000 You're telling me you didn't bring a knife to a farm?
00:11:11.000 I'm sorry.
00:11:12.000 I don't have mine either.
00:11:13.000 I have my credit card.
00:11:14.000 I have my iPhone.
00:11:16.000 I have a knife cap.
00:11:18.000 We'll have to improvise.
00:11:20.000 What does a gay horse eat? 1.00
00:11:22.000 Hey.
00:11:24.000 Jeez.
00:11:28.000 What do you think?
00:11:29.000 What are you, a snob?
00:11:32.000 Come on, Fatso.
00:11:34.000 How much does a cow cost? 1.00
00:11:37.000 How much comes?
00:11:38.000 These are coming from the Y Angus.
00:11:41.000 So they are close to usually $6,000 to $20,000 for one breeding cow.
00:11:50.000 So she would be sold with a, pregnant, with a cow, it's called a cow calf. 0.99
00:11:55.000 So she would have a calf at her side. 0.91
00:11:57.000 So amazed, as you take us around this farm, how much work you do.
00:12:01.000 Why did you choose such hard work over city life?
00:12:05.000 If you look around, it's just beautiful.
00:12:06.000 I mean, the grass is growing, the climates are, the environment is changing all the time.
00:12:12.000 There's always something new and exciting going on.
00:12:14.000 Either a new calf, you come up here and a new calf is born, or, you know, Ferdinand Jr. has got a boo-boo on his foot.
00:12:22.000 There's always something.
00:12:23.000 So if you want boring, you go to the city.
00:12:26.000 If you want fun, you come out and you become a farmer.
00:12:31.000 Cool.
00:12:31.000 Not to mention the fact, if you get back to the main purpose, is you have a mission.
00:12:36.000 So the idea is that these guys are healthier ways of eating.
00:12:40.000 And I'm thinking I'm doing my part to accelerate that process.
00:12:47.000 Make people eat healthier.
00:12:48.000 Make people eat healthier, give them a resource.
00:12:50.000 So if they call Ferguson Family Farm, they can buy quarters or cuts of grass-fed beef, no grain whatsoever.
00:12:58.000 And they do fatten without corn.
00:13:00.000 That's a misnomer.
00:13:02.000 I'm getting hungry.
00:13:03.000 Getting hungry?
00:13:05.000 Maybe you better go.
00:13:06.000 I want a cheeseburger.
00:13:12.000 So that's the farm.
00:13:13.000 That's where you get your turkeys from. 0.90
00:13:16.000 And Thanksgiving is a time where your family gets together and gives thanks.
00:13:21.000 Thanks for all your blessings.
00:13:22.000 As we say in the Selkirk Grace, there's some ha-meat that can eat and some ha meat that want it. 1.00
00:13:28.000 But we hamit and we can eat.
00:13:30.000 And see the Lord be thanked it.
00:13:32.000 And I think in this divisive times, we tend to get lost in the weeds in the city and forget the big picture and forget that a tweet or a social media post or even a president is temporary.
00:13:46.000 Friends and family are forever.
00:13:48.000 So let's reinvite our disinvited guests and come together this Thanksgiving and see the Lord be thanked.
00:14:08.000 Hi, I'm Graham.
