Originally, our farm had only cows. However, we soon realized that the cattle would not eat some of the pasture . During an evening discussing digging up and replanting the fields, the idea of getting a goat to cleanup the leftovers was brought up. This, we decided, was a wonderful idea, so research into goats began. We settled on the Cashmere Goat and when we found some that we liked, well, being a herd animal, of course we couldn't get just one. Thus began our herd. We now have 36 goats that we raise for cashmere, milk, and meat.

Cashmere goats are not a breed of goat. We believe that our herd has it's roots in Spanish Goats, Fainting Goats, and Sable Saanen Goats. Over the years, our goats have been continuously crossbred to produce the best cashmere fiber possible, so quite honestly, we don't know the exact breed of the fiber goats anymore. However, we do know which of our goats are the Nubians though!

Cashmere is the softer, insulating underhair of a goat. It is warmer than wool , but unlike wool, is not as scratchy or itchy. On average, our goats produce about 4 ounces of cashmere each year with the wethers producing more.
