WINNERS ANNOUNCED HERE​

It's time for some reminiscing fellow BYH Members!

Remember the time when you were just starting your own flock/herd. You were so excited! You couldn't help but ask your family/friends for some tips on how to best take care of them, what's the best breed of goat or cow, etc. With good intentions, they give you all sorts of advise! Some of it good, while some were just downright absurd.

We know you've got lots of stories so let's all have some fun and make this an OFFICIAL BYH CONTEST!

Here's how to join:
