The Pygora Goat

The versatile goat with the luxurious coat.

The Pygora® goat was initially bred with the goal of creating an animal that would produce fine fiber for hand spinning. The foundation of the breed began by breeding a Pygmy (NPGA registry), a goat with short, soft cashmere-like down, to an Angora (AAGBA registry), a goat with long silky fleece. The Pygora goat produces a wonderful, lofty, soft, fiber that does not coarsen as the goat ages. Add in an affectionate, engaging personality, a manageable size, good health and fleece in a range of colors and you have the perfect fiber goat.
