The height if an Angora goat varies depending on the goat and their family. Usually, they are between 92 and 122 cm. The females, or nannies, are closer to 92cm usually, while the males, or billies, are usually closer to 122cm.
This fine fiber actually comes from the Angora Goat. This goat is native to the Angora region of Turkey, but is now raised mainly in South Africa and the United States. The Angora goat grows beautiful long curly locks of fiber, as you can see in the photographs. This wonderful coat of fine fiber is sheared either once or twice a year, depending on the staple length (fiber length) required. These mohair fibers can be from 8 - 12 inches in length and come in a variety of shades. They used to be bred only in white so that the fiber could be dyed, though Angora goats are now bred in reds (apricot through to copper shades) or blacks (shades of grey through to black).
