I have been to look at a billy goat today he was gorgeous, !st cross Angora / Cashmere, coat mainly Cashmere, has anyone any idea how much he should cost or how much a Cashmere or Angora goat should cost billy or girl, as I am getting a girl of them as well, I have to phone to get price as Debbie was tied up with an inspection and did not know, ( I think I am swapping for chickens ) |

I have been talking to a lady in Aberdeenshire who has got Angora Goats, she was great, real helpful sending me loads of bumf on them, but said not to touch the X with a barge pole , the wool is no good for anything The cost of a pure Angora nanny is about £100 and a Billy £100- 150 unless you want real good Show Goats then you can pay thousands, but they only produce enough milk for the Kids, Milkmaid had alreay told me this, so will have to have a talk to OH about it all  |
