Angora goats
They are at the heart of this adventure.
Their unique qualities have led me to choose to raise angora goats. Angora goats are of Asian origin. They are quite small and demand gentle handling, and they have a very affectionate and calm nature.
They have been selected for centuries to produce an exceptional fibre called mohair. It is the wool that grows on the goats at a rate of about 2.5 cm per month and is sheared twice a year.
