We shear our angoras twice a year, in the spring before kidding and in the fall before breeding . We maintain a consistent schedule of de-licing treatments to ensure that our goats have minimal lice (you can never fully get rid of them), we also keep our pastures free of burdocks and other debris that can snag the fleece. Once sheared we skirt the fleece in order to remove debris and the dirtiest and least attractive parts of the fleece.
We typically sell mohair raw as a full fleece. Most often we have kid to adult grade mohair in stock in a variety of colors.
We sell only raw mohair.
All mohair has been lightly skirted, this means we remove most vegetable matter, soiled fiber and second cuts but do not wash fiber. Staple length varies depending on the goat but is usually 4" to 6" long.
Pricing is as follows:
Kid - $35 for a full fleece
Yearling - $25 for a full fleece
Older Adult - $15 for a full fleece
Most of our customers are local but we will ship (shipping costs not included in above pricing).
