The only turkey hatchery in Gillespie County is being installed by Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Rabke on Eckert Crabapple Road. The plant will hatch poults around March 1 and can produce up to 7,000 per week. The Rabkes raise their own breeding flock of about 150 Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys from Waxahachie stock and sell breeding toms from a selected group. Their operation emphasizes disease control and uses fully automatic incubator and hatcher equipment. They market live baby beef turkeys and dressed birds locally, with assistants Beverly and Stanley helping.
