Baron Turkeys
Specialist turkey poult rearers
About us
We are a family run business started by Edmund Baron in the early 1960s and continued today by his son Jim and wife Ann.
Originally, the focus was to rear poults in the summer months which could be sold on to other farmers for killing at Christmas. Gradually as the business expanded, year round rearing of stag poults for some of our customers was added but competition with larger producers and imports of cheaper product made this no longer viable.
Today though the core rearing for Christmas has declined, we continue to offer this service and deliver to many parts of the country where numbers permit.
We also rear both male and female poults on contract for Shoby poultry throughout the year.
Turkeys
Our rearing sheds are all purpose built, fitted with semi automatic lighting, heating, ventilation, feeding and watering systems.
Many years experience of rearing turkeys has meant that we can rear a strong, well grown, healthy poult that can be successfully moved to a range of different rearing situations and grown on to make a well finished bird for Christmas.
Day old poults of various breeds are purchased from 2 main hatcheries. All poults are sexed, beak lasered and kept in separate sheds according to breed. Most poults are ready for sale between 5 and 6 weeks old when they are easily moved in crates and adapt quickly to a new environment.
