Hi everyone, I am new to world of goats, so new i havent got any as yet. I have been thinking about cashmere and was woundering if any of you milk or know someone who milk's them.I realize they would never produce like dairy breeds, but would like to know if it was worth trying and what the milk was like? regards Una PS have searched the net and cant seem to find any information on it.
Hi booboo, I don't have the expertise with Cashmere's but I can say that just about any goat is milkable... of course though being bred for fiber may influence the taste and production.
I have milked my angoras every now and then. The taste was beautiful, very creamy. They just dont yield as much per day - about 1L was the most I got (from a doe also suckling a kid) and the lactation isnt as long (2 - 4 months)
