Cashmere Goats

Specializing in “red” Cashmere Goats

Breeding Stock and Fiber Wethers For Sale

with natural colored cashmere fiber

for spinning and weaving.

All goat breeds will grow a very short down fiber for winter protection but only “Cashmere Goats” grow a down fiber long enough to be used for spinning and weaving.  Developed in Australia and imported 29+ years ago to the U.S.A., Cashmere Goats are double coated goats with harsher guard hair on the body and a softer down undercoat fiber known as “cashmere” grown for warmth.

Cashmere Goats are now recognized as one of three fiber goat breeds.

Foxmoor Farm is a goat farm located in the hills above Silverton, Oregon.  We began raising Cashmere Goats in 1991.  We are goat breeders interested in producing solid colored Cashmere Goats with good conformation and an even length and style of cashmere fiber.  Since 2003 our goal has been to emphasize a special color - now in 2013, we have a herd of “red” Cashmere Goats.

• Our Cashmere Goats are red in body color. We do not keep or have any other color but “red” by choice.  

• Our breeding stock is 100% Cashmere Goat and from mainly Australian import bloodlines.  We do not cross with other goat breeds.  Our Cashmere Goats have several generation pedigrees with our own red breeding stock.

• Our Cashmere Goats have short guard hair and their cashmere fiber grows through the guard hair to produce a large amount of natural colored fiber that is 2 ½" long with coverage over the entire body.

• The color of the cashmere fiber is not the same as the body color and guard hair.  Our red Cashmere Goats do not have red cashmere fiber but produce either almond, yellow or apricot natural colored cashmere fiber.

•  We do not dye our cashmere fiber.  Our cashmere fiber is natural colored and the color does not fade or wash out.

• Our cashmere fiber can be used 100% for spinning and weaving without breaking or pilling because it has an even length of fibers throughout.

• Our Cashmere Goats are unique - they have harsher guard hair that is thicker in diameter than their cashmere fiber which makes processing by hand or by machine easier and quicker.

• All the cashmere fiber from our farm is combed and processed by hand.
