On April 16, 2023, Stafford Sheriff’s animal control deputies were called for a report of two butterballs in the street.

On April 16th Deputy A.C. Wolford responded to Olde Forge subdivision for a livestock in the roadway complaint. He arrived to find these two turkeys strutting through the area. We would hate for Butterball and the Gizzard of Oz to go to “waist.” The owner can contact Animal Control to claim their feathered friends (or we will hold them until the middle of November). Don’t we have the “baste” Animal Control Officers?
