So cool to see you both talk at the Pasture Walk, and just an altogether incredible and educational day!

Thanks for the video! I can say around my area they have increased because I took some row crop ground and made it into pasture. I saw about 15-20 poults the other day. I was moving my cattle and sheep into another paddock since I rotational graze. All of sudden a bunch of little turkeys started to fly. It was so cool. It seems the predators aren’t around my area as much since I have a few LGDs to help protect my livestock too. I pretty sure my dogs are protecting the turkeys too indirectly.
