Ian Waterman contacted me from Britain, http://www.heritageturkeys.co.uk/, seeking information on Nebraskan Turkeys. Nebraskans were a new variety developed in the late 1940s by R. H. Jandebeur of North Platte, Nebraska. Frank Reese of Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch in Lindsborg, Kansas has some information from his work with Norm Kardosh. I'll search through the SPPA collection of antique books and magazines for more background for him.
If you have any information on this breed, which may now have disappeared, please contact me.
In the meantime, Ian sent some photos of his birds.
These Ocellated Turkeys are the wild breed I wrote about in last month's issue of Backyard Poultry.

The Narragansett tom is a beauty.
These are his Buffs.
