Want To Score Your Turkey ?

Calculate your score by filling out the form below using numbers with decimals. Included below is a decimal equivalency chart to help you convert your measurements.

But first, measure that birds live (undressed) weight to the nearest ounce (Make sure it is a certified scale). Then measure the birds beard to the nearest 1/16 of an inch from the point of protrusion from the breast to the tip of the longest bristle . Finally, measure along the outside curve of each spur to the nearest 1/16 of an inch.

Examples:
If the beard length is 11 3/16 then enter 11.1875 in the form.
If the weight was 20 lb. 7 oz. (which is 20 7/16 lb.) enter 20.4375
