Registered Angoras Cost More but Breeding Pays Off
The Texas Angora Goat Raiser's Association reports 121 registered Angoras sold at Junction last August bringing in 8066 dollars for an average of 66.66 per head. Authority claims two quality bucks can service 200 nannies and three years can transform a flock, with Angora goats outselling sheep and seen as a strong Texas agricultural investment.

Angora Goats Find Food Beyond Grass and Weeds
In West Texas a flock of Angora goats thrived on oak and mesquite browse during dry times, showing self-reliance when cattle and sheep suffered. The piece notes goats can subsist on browse and even oak leaves, while cedar is inedible, and mentions cedar eradication risks and oak and shinoak recovery. It also cites Dr. Victor E. Negus on vocal cords and a Cromwell quote about social security economics.
