[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5082912, member: 2805"] really interesting! Keep it coming guys, it's hard to know based on such a small individual sample size, but we actually took our smallest longbeard ever on the farm, only 16.9lbs. Only one of the birds we took had any yellow to his breast sponge, but he was a 3y/o that weighed 23.5lbs. Our longest spurred bird came off the same farm and was only 21lbs. I was just curious if the severe cold snap caused birds to use up some fat reserves which might have set breeding back a tad this year due to lesser body conditions. But heck, woods were starting to green up fast. I even saw a dogwood that was just starting to open.... way earlier than ususal. The icestorm certainly wreaked havoc on my timbered hills, though. Impossible to walk through them quietly with the forest floor littered with bicep to thigh thick branches everywhere. [/QUOTE]
