Types of Cashmere Goats

There are several types of cashmere goats, including:

  1. Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goat: This is one of the most common types of cashmere goats and is native to Inner Mongolia in China. These goats have a thick, long coat that is well-suited to the cold, dry climate of Inner Mongolia.

  2. Tibetan Cashmere Goat: This type of cashmere goat is native to Tibet and is known for producing a high-quality, fine-fiber cashmere.

  3. Australian Cashmere Goat: This type of cashmere goat is raised in Australia and has a thick, soft coat that is well-suited to the country's harsh climate.

  4. American Cashmere Goat: This type of cashmere goat is raised in the United States and is known for producing a high-quality, soft fiber.

In general, cashmere goats are raised for their soft, downy undercoat, which is sheared off and processed into cashmere fiber. The fiber is then used to make a variety of products, including clothing, blankets, and other textiles.
