Abstract
A device for measuring the length of a spur on the leg of a turkey. A pair of leg cradles are placed on the back side of a turkey leg with the spur being located between two slide rails. A slide indicator is moved towards the spur until a spur bar comes in contact with the spur. The length of the spur is then determined by reading the measurement on the scale where the slide indicator is aligned.
