Until the late Middle Ages, legend shrouded the origins of cashmere.

It was not until 1664, when the French physician Bernier (Bernier) visited Tibet, accompanied by the Great Moghul (Great Moghul), that it was discovered that superb fabrics were spun from the wool of goats. 200 years ago, after careful design, the first animals were imported to Europe.

Distributing Cashmere Goats

About 200 years ago, the first animals were dated in Europe. Today, most cashmere goats live in the People’s Republic of China and Mongolia.

Starting in 1970, large cashmere goat farms were established in Australia and New Zealand, followed by the United States in 1989. In Europe, until 2006, cashmere goats were mainly distributed in Scotland. As far as we know, today the largest European flock lives in Devon, England.

Cashmere goats can be raised basically like any other goat. They have comparable likes and dislikes. Their wool gives them excellent cold tolerance during the winter months.

Cashmere goats grow slowly and therefore young goats should not be mated for the first time until they are two years old. This allows them to develop undisturbed.

Cashmere goats are not barn dependent. In many cases, a windproof, dry shelter is sufficient. It is important to provide them with enough roughage with high crude fiber content.

Grooming Cashmere
