Red, White and Blue Turkey Racing in Time for July 4th

You think turkeys can’t race? It might be like herding cats?

Think again.

Apparently, all that’s needed is a remote-control truck with a bed full of grain.

Check out the Ramona Patch video of the Wild West Stampede at the San Diego County Fair, in which Nancy and Gil Riegler of Oasis Camel Dairy in Ramona make people laugh ... and laugh ... and laugh.

By the way, the “red” and “blue” teams of turkeys have food coloring on their feathers, which Nancy Riegler joked “is rather ironic.”

The camel dairy is in the Witch Creek area of Ramona, on 34 acres of rolling hills at the intersection of Highway 78 and Old Julian Highway.

The Rieglers take their Turkey Stampede on the road to fairs all over California.

They offer tours of the dairy once a month. Children can get rides on the dromedary camels. There's also a bird show.

Oasis Camel Dairy is reported to be the only camel dairy in the United States.

To see more about it, take a look at this with a video and the TV episode in which they appeared on Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe on the Discovery Channel.
