The cashmere goat is a breed of goat known for producing high-quality cashmere wool. This soft and luxurious fiber comes from the undercoat of the goat, which is shed during the spring. Cashmere goats are primarily found in regions with cold climates, such as Mongolia, China, and India, where they have adapted to harsh weather conditions. These goats are typically medium-sized and have a long, coarse outer coat that protects them from the elements. Cashmere production requires careful grooming and shearing, as the fine undercoat is collected to create cashmere products. The demand for cashmere has led to increased farming and sustainable practices to ensure the welfare of the goats.
