What is the expected weight range for a 21-week old market tom turkey?

The expected weight range for a 21-week old market tom turkey typically falls within the range of 30 to 40 pounds. Market tom turkeys are bred specifically for size and meat production, and by the time they reach 21 weeks, they have usually developed significant muscle mass and body weight.

While some heavier individuals may exceed 40 pounds, this is less common. A weight exceeding this range is generally not expected for a market turkey of that age due to average growth rates and breeding standards in commercial turkey production. Thus, the most accurate answer reflects the commonly anticipated weight for turkeys of this age, which aligns more closely with the range of 30 to 40 pounds rather than weights above.
