Lapierres Raise 12,000 Gobblers a Year on Canada’s Largest Turkey Ranch
Tommy Lapierre and his two sons and two daughters operate Canada’s largest turkey ranch in British Columbia near the Washington border. They raise 12,000 gobblers annually, mostly Big Breed birds weighing 25 to 30 pounds, with a feed bill of about 28 tons weekly during fattening. Over half are shipped overseas to aid Canadian troops for Christmas dinners. The rest are sold in Canada. The piece also notes a broader discussion of water quality’s impact on food and beverage industries and a long-term need for extensive stream and river data for planning big projects.
