NC Governor Roy Cooper along with his wife Kristin Cooper, pardoned two turkeys at the Executive Mansion In Raleigh on November 20th, 2019. "Orville" & "Wilbur" will live out the rest of their lives at the Naylor family Farm located in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Wellie Jackson, a contract grower for Butterball, LLC, from Clinton, NC was chosen to raise Orville & Wilbur. Mr. Jackson also had the distinguished honor of raising the Presidential Flock that produced "Bread" & "Butter" who were eventually pardoned by President Donald Trump the day before Thanksgiving.
