Looks like pardoned White House turkeys will retire to Iowa State, not Gobblers Knob at the VT. . Turkeys came from Iowa, so they probably had the inside track this year. Don't recall where the turkeys that ended up at VT came from.

Edited to add the link, and again to correct the name.
From the link:
For the past few years, they’ve gone to live at Virginia Tech; however, this year, turkeys are from Iowa this year, which is why they’re going to the Hawkeye State, according to the National Turkey Federation.

“This is a great opportunity to share with new audiences about turkey production and bring the turkeys back to their home state. Virginia Tech has been a wonderful partner, and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. Peas and Carrots and Bread and Butter still reside at Gobblers Rest,” said a federation spokesperson.
