Also, thank you for pointed out that raising goats for fiber is not cruel!

[@Alisorganics]

Thank you! I‘ve had dairy Nubian goats for over 30 years and just now getting into angoras. This helps me a lot. 😊

[@justkimmiann]

Thank you so much for this video! I am in the process of researching goats and Angora is on top of my list. I am a felter and would love to not only get fibers for myself but to sell it as well.

My sister raises Angora goats!! We are cleaning and carding this weekend!! Happy Goating!!

[@marystone5186]

Wonderful video teaching everyone how wonderful these goats are

[@Janka007]

Your animals are beautiful and I'm sure they are happy too! They feel how much you love them, even if sheering is a bit uncomfortable for them. As you said it's a must for the sake of their health and wellbeing. People who think it's cruel, don't know too much about fleece animals.

Thank you for this informative video!

Hello, my name is Cheryl and my farm name is Mema's Mini Manchas. Well I first want to thank you for this video. I would love to pick your brain if you ever have a chance. Anyway I will be getting my very first Angora goats next weekend and I am so very excited. I know there is more to them than the current goats I have now. Well, I live in Tehachapi and the goat people in my area are always being so discouraging when it comes to the goats I raise now and the fact I was thinking of getting Angora goats. I am going to still do them both. But I for sure need to learn more. I was told that there is only a few people in California that do anything with them and you can't make any money with them. Well I found your video and it was so nice to hear all the positive things from both you and your friend. I am going to hit up the local 4H and see if there are any kids that would like to learn along with me on this journey.

Thank you for this video!

[@raphlvlogs271]

goats are much cuter than we give them credit for.

[@MommaJessiesCraftyHomestead]

Helping me decide on what animals to get too. 🤗

[@cinnamonstar808]

leave animals alone!

[@MommaJessiesCraftyHomestead]

Thanks for making this video. 🤗 I'm looking into starting my Homestead next summer and get my boys into 4H.

[@randolphsloan2263]

that is my favorite. I want many goats!!

[@linzwalker436]

Yeah. You can shear them as often as you want, right? Do the fibers have to be a certain length to be spun into yarn?

[@B30pt87]

Good video, thanks!

[@galaxytraveler5779]

Had about 20 of these on a farm when i was a kid and i loved spending time out in the barn with them. Sadly, the neighbor sprayed his potato crop next door on a windy day and it carried over to our farm and many of the goats became very sick and died.

omg haha what animal or person sounds in the back like its having a very good time laughing 11:25

[@donnadees1971]

Well, how do goats shed wool, without shearing.

[@Fuzfarm]

How do u tell how old they are have two and can’t tell the age of them 3:43

[@johannamagalsky]

Do people milk angora goats? Is their milk just like other goat milk to drink or use for making soap for example? That'd be cool if you could get fiber AND milk from them! 😃

[@haggly8679]

I’m not a goat farmer but from what I’ve read angora goats wouldn’t make good milk goats. Apparently if they have more than one kid at a time they don’t produce enough milk to feed them all.

[@hschle2237]

@@haggly8679 bei dieser Rasse geht viel Kraft in das Fell was so wächst und lang lang wächst. Das kostet viel Energie und somit ist es keine Ziege für Milch geben. VG

[@kintutucker2173]

Do anybody know where i can buy goats hair rugs or clothing.If so,please comment with site.Thank you

[@FelixTheAnimator]

Mohair suits were a like a huge thing in the middle of the last century. (James bond was dressed in a mohair suit). That fabric is like $200/yard.

[@49lucky]

P s the other reason I need these goats is in allergic to all man-made fabric or any man made stuff lol

[@49lucky]

Oh boy I'm really going to check these out as they pay for themselves. I've had dwarf, pygmy and even fainting goats so now I'm ready for these guys but will check out for more info before I get any animals. Just joined this utube great for me.

[@abdalbateeh6766]

Good Choice 👍

[@freshbrewedasmr3378]

Do you sell your fleece?

[@whaaaaaaap]

I learned to shear back in highschool. Thank god I was born in the south 😂

[@yoopermann7942]

what is the diffrence between angora goats and cashmere goats?

[@FelixTheAnimator]

They're actually a subset of the same breed. The quality of the hair varies from individual to individual. Coarser hair = mohair, lucky genetics, finer hair = cashmere.

[@rock3times]

are they good for cashmere ?

[@Bekdog95]

Cashmere goats are a separate breed of goat from the angora goat

[@rock3times]

@@Bekdog95 sorry to cause the confusion. What I mean is the " wool" clippings ie mohair ? is it as good as mohair from cashmere goat ?

[@Bekdog95]

@@rock3times Ah I think I understand what you mean. I personally don't have any direct experience with mohair or cashmere so I can't give you a personal opinion but I do know both fibers can be spun and both have their own pros and cons. Here's a link to a short article on their differences: www.woolme.co.uk/blog/mohair-vs-cashmere-which-one-is-better-for-you/

[@rocket2811]

is it a must to sheer them ?

[@matthewduran143]

Yes, as they don't shed naturally they would overheat and die.

[@Shwiftydrizzle]

Who thinks this is cruel? I imagine they love it

[@RexySmith]

people in the vegan community spreading misinformation. They are brainwashed with absolutely horrible videos of animals that are super mistreated, and now they imagine every single animal farmer is a monster and treat their animal like this. It's like if you were showing people puppy mills videos and now going around saying everybody that own a dog is a monster and no one should ever own a dog because they all have miserable life. LMAO

[@JD-kf2ki]

Look like wool

[@amydelpiere9315]

Thanks for the information but STOP clicking your bottle top.

[@rubenpina9794]

My dad sheared on average 250 - 275 head of angora goats per day this lady was taught wrong
