UPPER HAYTHOG CELEBRATES 60 YEARS OF
AWARD WINNING TURKEYS
Ron and Mary Scale started rearing Christmas Turkey’s on their farm at Upper Haythog in 1954
as an additional enterprise to their farming business.
They started with 300 turkeys primarily to sell to the wholesale trade and over the years they
gradually increased the numbers to approx 3,000 turkeys when Peter joined the business in
1964. This soon became a very important enterprise on the farm and we moved away from
wholesalers at the earliest opportunity to concentrate on supplying Butcher Retailers and Farm
Gate Sales.
During this period there were many turkey farmers in Wales and the Welsh Turkey Association
decided to hold an annual Turkey Flock Competition which we first won in 1966. In later years
this has become a dressed turkey competition and we have been fortunate to win the overall
Championship Turkey on no fewer than 12 separate occasions along with many other awards.
Winning these awards shows that we are dedicated and proud of the quality of turkeys that we
produce.
We have one aim and that is to produce genuine farm fresh turkeys to the highest standard using
traditional methods to consistently achieve the very best flavour, texture and finish.
Over the 60 years we have enjoyed wonderful support from our many customers and we are delighted that Robert our son who will be taking the business forward and
continue to produce turkeys of the very highest quality.
Why not make your Christmas extra special this year by treating your family to one of our award winning turkey’s.
