Mohair Industry in America From Angora Goats
Angora goats first arrived in the United States in 1848 via a South Carolina planter. The market surged late last year as demand and prices rose for Angora wool, with California and Oregon leading—Bailey of San Jose owning about 10,000 goats. Production lags in quality compared with Asia Minor and South Africa, and experts warn against chasing top prices without quality stock. Bucks fetch up to 1500 dollars. entering with modest aims and gradual breeding offers better gains than speculative booms.
