Yes Lynnie,cows have a heat cycle too. It's about every 21 days for less than 1 day. Pat sounds like a nice visit. I try not to go to e-bay or pinterest or itsy very often. Costs me to much time and money. Love looking though.Is the board a pleating board? When I got my turkeys I bought baby chicks. I had to keep them warm with lights until they were about 2 months old. Then with the warmer weather and them huddling they stayed warm. If your neighbor got older turkeys they wouldn't have to keep them warm. They are kinda dumb though. I've heard they will look up to watch a storm and drown in the rain.
