2019 Conference

The conference was a fabulous opportunity to learn from turkey breeder and judge Megg Miller, a foundation member of the Australian Heritage Turkey Society Inc, and one of only a couple of accredited turkey judges in Australia.

Several participants opted to do both parts of the test - written and practical - in order to become an accredited turkey judge.
