See the goat on the right? That's Buddy - he's a Pygora. Half angora goat (where mohair comes from) and half pygmy goat (hence his small size). We've collected one season of fleece - one more and I will have enough to knit something small.
Of course, I need to learn to spin it first!
And yes, cashmere comes from goats. And oddly enough, angora comes from rabbits, not angora goats.
