The Cashmere goat is a breed of domestic goat known for its soft and luxurious wool, called cashmere. These goats are primarily raised in the mountainous regions of Asia, particularly in Mongolia, China, and India. Cashmere is obtained from the undercoat of the goat, which is shed during the molting season.
Cashmere goats are medium-sized animals with a sturdy build and long, flowing hair. They thrive in harsh climates and are well-adapted to cold environments. The production of cashmere is labor-intensive, requiring careful grooming and collection to ensure high-quality fibers for textiles.
