Angora Goats

Here are two beautiful angora goat wethers for sale. The top photo is of a 20 month old that produces a beautiful shiny fleece. I think this fleece will weigh about 10 lbs.
This is a nine month old angora wether. He is little now, but will keep growing for about three more years. His coat is really fine and soft. It makes a gorgeous mohair yarn.
The nice thing about angora goats is that they are easy to take care of. They are pretty good about staying in the pasture and not breaking out of the fences, like some other goats. They don't jump as much. I think they are more like sheep. I can usually get at least $10 a pound or more for the mohair fleeces.
