Wool comes from sheep. Sheep ranchers shear their sheep once or twice per year and sell the wool. The wool is cleaned and spun into cloth for clothing and other useful items. Texas leads the nation in lamb and wool production with an annual wool clip of more than 6,000,000 pounds. Mohair is the hair that grows on angora goats.
Ranchers harvest the mohair by shearing.
Mohair is woven into cloth for use in many items. Texas produces almost all of the mohair raised in the U.S. and half of the mohair used worldwide.
