The Angora goat is a wool and meat producing animal.
Meat production is along the same lines as sheep.
Angora goats produce the best mohair in hot areas with low rainfall. Their resistance to hot and cold weather is far less than sheep, which means they are far more susceptible to pneumonia. They eat a great variety of rough fodder and herbage, thriving on bushy scrub country. The driest of grasses and leaves are a delight for the Angora goat. The lustre of mohair is one of the most important characteristics, during judging of an animal this is given great consideration.
