Hello dearest, I am in South Africa. I want to be mohair processor/ cleaning agent. Can you help with more tips
Love you
U r very lovely on the world
I wondered how. Thanks so much 😊
Hi sweetie
Where you at in Texas? I live in Paris Texas
I agree with your mom. Could never harvest a critter I had cared for. Hunting is a different story.

I hope everything is still going well. I'd love to see more.
Wow 😲 that's an amazing set up, don't get to in over your head before you have a plan in place with contingencies.
If it mats up and felts you can just use carders to get that out you'll be doing that later in preparation to spin it anyway.
Carders being the (curry combs) spinners use.
How has shearing gone? Please make more videos.
Great video! Please create more content... I'm a new sub looking for info on fiber goats. :)
Maremmas I’ve heard don’t like to run outside fences, but that doesn’t help you lol. No perimeter fencing? It seems the only way to successfully keep them from running or digging to get out is a hot wire or invisible fencing. It’s an investment, but probably the only way to be successful. It also sounds like he needs a bit more training (and I’m sure you’re doing you’re best). Have you thought about a Garmin correction collar with a GPS so you can stop behavior remotely? Especially to prevent playing roughly with babies. I saw a RUclips video on that option recently.
What breed are they?
They're Angora, they produce fiber. One of the best they say anyway.
Is there a good market for the fur? Or is it more beneficial to just spin it and use it yourself?
It goes for $10-30/lb for the unprocessed fleece. Yearlings go for more and the finner and softer the fiber the more valuable. If you check Etsy some stuff goes for pretty much I checked and some doll locks go as high as $30 for oz's. It will go for more if it's processed but once it's off and washed you can build up a stockpile to get through boring times rather than doing crosswords, or doing an iColoring book, or binging Netflix. So even an unprocessed fleece can go for more money than a meat goat will for the whole animal, but with a little work, spinning, knitting weaving you can make bank on a downtime investment
I thought about crossing angora goats with nubians to create a milk fibre goat. Would be practical this nungora goat ir what people wluld call them. Bc there is a pygora a fleshy angora so why not with milk?😁
Hello can you provide fine adult mohair wool
Could you milk angora goats? I wonder how different the milk would be compared to regular dairy goats. 🤔
They dont produce enough milk to be a dairy goat, but have been bred with Nigerian dwarf to make nigora goats, which produce both milk and fiber. Angora are for fiber.
It would probably be best to get a saanen or two for milk and sell the hybrids off and use the nanny for milk once the kid is weaned and you'll have a surrogate on the off chance you'd need.
what is the difference between goat and sheep?
I have Azerbaijan red angora
My husband and I are about to close on 9.5 acres. I have always been a goat person however I just discovered angora goats. Can you recommend a good place to educate myself on what to look for in a good starter herd? also, how many would you suggest I start with. I also work full time. Thanks
Yummy Cookies!!!!!
Thank you! The goats love them!!
You should name one of your goats after your son.
Oh! I so need to do that!!!
Great job Kim, you;re a great goat farmer!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you! Great video!!
The knitter in me is squealing with delight!
Me too! I am so excited to start spinning!
They are so cute! Thanks for the update!
Thank you!!
Curly floofs. Waggly tails. What's not to love?
They are the best thing ever!! ❤️❤️❤️
Very nice video, Kim! The camera shakiness during the walking parts is a bit distracting, but the farm looks great. Excited for the goats to arrive!
Thank you! I totally agree with the shaky camera. Need to work on that. The goats arrive in a week!
