PYGORA GOATS

What you may ask, is a pygora goat? Well, it's a cross of a pygmy goat and an angora goat. So you get the small size and hopefully personality of the pygmy and the wool of the angora. We have raised a few grade pygoras and I love them. You just have to brush them when they are shedding-if you get the right kind of wool and they shed . To learn more about the types of wool Check this site. They normally shed twice a year, in the spring to lose their winter coat and at the end of summer to lose their summer coat. The wool can be of different types. To learn more about pygoras, check out this site.



We moved and I had to sell my pygoras (boo hoo)! They are out of registered stock, but the guy who had the angora buck failed to tell me that he was unable to get the registration papers from the person he had bought the buck from, so they are just grade animals. Princess Leah consistently gave us twins. I milked her-she was a real sweetheart.

Rapunzel is one of this years twins, sold the wether. She was bottle raised and is VERY tame!


Dusty was our buck. He was hand raised, but had gotten spooky with lack of handling.
