Cashmere goats are a breed of goats known for their soft and luxurious wool, called cashmere. They are primarily found in regions with cold climates, such as the Himalayas and parts of Mongolia. These goats produce a fine undercoat that is collected during the molting season, typically in spring.
The cashmere produced by these goats is highly valued for its warmth and lightweight properties. Cashmere goats are usually raised in herds, and their care requires specific management practices to ensure the quality of the wool. The fibers are then processed to create various clothing and textile products.
