Description:
The Pygora goat is a little creature. It is available in a range of hues, including black, brown, gray, white, or a combination of those hues. While smaller, it resembles Angora goats in appearance.
Behavior:
Pygora goats have a very vigilant, amiable, and inquisitive nature. They are really simple to manage. They combine the placid temperament of Angora goats with the sprightliness and liveliness of Pygmy goats. Pygora goats produce three kinds of fleece: cashmere-like fleece, mohair-like fleece or a blend of the two fleeces.
Benefits/Uses:
The Pygora goat is primarily cultivated for its fiber. With a daily milk production of roughly one liter, it can also be utilized as a dairy animal. These days, Pygora goats are also kept as pets.
Origin/History:
The registered NPGA Pygmy goat and the white AAGBA Angora goat were crossed to create the Pygora goat breed. Developed by Katharine Jorgensen of Oregon City, the Pygora was a deliberate cross. The American Pygora Breeders Association was established in 1987 and has since registered and promoted Pygoras. Nowadays, the registered Pygora goat cannot contain more than 75% Angora goats or 75% Pygmy goats registered with the NPGA.
