Cashmere Goats



We have been given these two beautiful Cashmere goats to add to our small fiber herd. I bought a slicker brush and am ready to groom.....just waiting for them to settle in a bit more and get used to me being around so that I don't stress them out too much too soon. That hair is amazingly soft!

I don't like to re-name animals, but to keep things from getting complicated here I had to do it. The male's name was Phoenix, and since we already have Phoenix the cat, we renamed the goat Echo.
The female's name was Tic Tac Toe, and since I call out their names when feeding, and I talk to them often, it was a little long to add to the list of names. So I re-named her Bella. She's the one with the white on her belly, which makes it easier for others to remember.
Now we have Violet, Emma, Echo, and Bella goats!
