Hey Jess. I’m not seeing the theme for this contest.

[noodlehaus]

Theme is below the winner of last month, however I can move it to the bottom of the post since that’s where it previously was.

[deanaii]

Oh, ok. Thanks. Change rattles us old folks.

[noodlehaus]

I swapped the POTM & VOTM placement so that the new theme is back in its original position.

Thanks everyone for choosing that little baby bull for ROTM! I’ve been pretty busy lately so I haven’t been checking in here as frequently. I’ll update my 2026 breeding thread with some updated pics of the neos. Thanks again!
