Billy or nanny

Answer:

GOAT

Hint:

Think of a farm animal known for its stubbornness that also lends its name to a sports term for the greatest of all time.

Explanation:

"Billy" is a male goat, and a "nanny" is a female goat, so the clue points to the animal itself. The answer plays on the double meaning of "GOAT," which also stands for "Greatest Of All Time" in sports and pop culture. Here, it’s simply referring to the farmyard animal.
