The couple also raise Hereford cattle and Hampshire sheep, all pastured May through November with winter shelter. Their children Jane and Joe attend local schools as the family maintains a part time rural operation while Bill teaches driver education and bookkeeping.

Byerses Farm Home Near Highway Draws Pony Obsessed Onlookers
A rose brick house two years old sits along the Williamsport Greencastle Highway near Huyetts replacing a razed farmhouse. A white fence encloses a Shetland pony herd that draws traffic as passing children gaze at ponies and foals. The boy and girl owners rarely acknowledge the animals except for guests, as they mostly ride and play with ponies when company visits.
