-For those curious, I’ve met @Goat Whisperer too. She was able to deliver Sparkle and CeCe to us when they came to IN to pick up Keigh.

While we didn’t stay long, we had a great time and I LOVE your family! Which says a lot, cuz I don’t like many people LOL

I’m glad @mystang89 is able to put good use for the chickens.

It IS amazing how BYH has connected to many people! An old member (not on BYH anymore) became good friends with us, and now only lives 15 minutes away! Meeting @babsbag was awesome too. Of course having OFA and @Bayleaf Meadows in NC is pretty cool too. I’d love to meet @Baymule and @Mike CHS in person!

I would love to have a big BYH party and invite everyone! Little Lindale would be over run with BYH'ers, the hotels would be full, the restaurants would run out of food, the grocery store shelves would be bare and NO BREAD or MILK to be had for MILES around!!! It would be like a Snowmegeddon with no snow! LOL LOL

We would have the BBQ pits cranked up, ALL the bread in town for pulled pork sandwiches, chocolate milk for all the kids, tater salad, beans, chips, and ALL the paper plates/cups in town and might as well scrub out the 300 gallon horse tank and fill it with sweet tea.

Lol @Baymule, to the tea in the horse trough.

It was great having @mystang89 here! Meeting the kids was great. They really enjoyed petting a baby goat and one of the steers. They’d have snuck my Aussies home with them if they could have! It was really cute. I kept my kids in the house so we didn’t share any germs but can’t wait for them to come back again when the weather is more enjoyable.

We really enjoyed your visit too @Goat Whisperer! The kids still talk about you and your dad coming. We are hoping to make it down this spring.

About 8 years ago a BYH member from either Illinois or Indiana did have a get together at her place open to anyone that wanted to attend. Many people made the trip...I was not one of them. One of my best friends in CA is someone I met through Back Yard Chickens, she ended up living about 10 miles from me. @Baymule, count me in if you do a party, don't know who would watch my farm for me but it sure would be fun.

When I met @Goat Whisperer and @Southern by choice I wanted to visit NC to look at some dairies so I invited myself for a visit and asked if she had a place for me too stay. I was there for about 6 days, so not just an over-nighter. Good thing we hit it off. Then I went back a few years later to buy some dairy equipment and invited myself for another visit. It was a good time.

That is so sweet WH!

Babs, we had a great time. Goat talk for hours!

We had hoped to get with you guys before we moved from South Carolina since we got up your way going to visit Teresa's brother in NC but it never worked out.

So glad you folks were able to meet up! I have had a great time meeting folks in RL after getting to know them online. I have yet to be disappointed!

Before we went over to you house my oldest daughter was saying how much she wanted another border collie since ours was hit by a car. When she left your house all she wanted was a red aussie and my wife said a red Merle or red tri lol. I loved every one of those dogs. So good natured and fun to play with. I'm like a child when it comes to a good natured dog.
