ANGORA GOATS
About Our Herd
We love our Angora goat
herd - it is such a peaceful scene in the evenings. They are curious but shy; teasing us into
thinking that they might like to be our pets.
Each has their own name, personality, and voice - such little cuties
when they are born. Caring for the goats
is an individual, amusing dimension in our lives. Our small herd consists of
both white commercial Angoras and AAGBA registered Angora
goats. We have purchased goats from various Angora goat breeders we have met
over the years and they have been selected for their fine ringlet mohair fleece
and Angora goat breed features.
Many breeders are going for larger sized Angora goats and more poundage per fleece. Our preferences tend toward the smaller sized
animal with a fine fibered coat. Fine fiber mohair naturally weighs less than
courser fiber. If it isn't great fiber
to spin it's worthless to me no matter how many pounds there are. The price one
is able to sell their mohair for also depends on its fineness.
We have some members of our Angora goat herd for
sale “to a good home”.
