Whoever was from Nevada and had those little goats, I think they were nubian really had me convinced I need to get some goats, so if you find some cute goat babies available, let me know Im thinking i need to get some. DH will love that.

If you are headed south (way south) let me know, I know some folks with nubians and lamanchas and some other milkers. They always sell a few. Whatcha doin with milk goats?

Dont plan on being south anytime soon. I have had milk goats off and on for 40 years. Time to get a new one or 2. Love the milk, and I am a goat person. Check out my Chicken Blog Doc. I may be a little too redneck to blog, but what the heck

I'm too redneck to know what a chicken blog is!

Don't know yet, this is my first year to grow heirlooms. I had always thought the hybrids had more disease and pest resistance, but I want to start seed saving so this year I have switched to heirloom (or at least not hybrid) on almost everything. I am trying multiple varieties this year and will keep the best performers/tasters for next year and try some other's I didn't get this year that I wanted to try.

How about anyone else, what heirlooms have you tried and been good or bad especially through our infamous Okie summers.

I like brandywine tomatoes. That is all I planted this year!
Two kinds I have heard about and wanted to get this year (but didn't) are Jeune Flame and Sojourner. They are both supposed to be really good in the Oklahoma heat.
