ONE MILLION GOATS IN AMERICA
I
N the curront issue' of .Kami mul lircsulo nppoai'H a most
intoivstiiiur article about ironte an article full of facts
about the connucrtiial possibilities of raising these animals.
Tho.ru arc a million Angora goats, in America and yot we
import annually over thirty per cent of the mohair used in
our domestic nmiiufaetures. There te no reason why our
fanners, cannot maintain enough goats to supply our do
mestic trade with superior niohiar. Especially favorable
is southern Oregon to goat -raising, especially .in the out
lying foothills. Following is au extract from tho article:
''The banner goat farm of America is located in Texas,
and numbers ten thousand head of grade and mre-brcd
Angoras. Last year the owner of this ranch realized a net
profit of one dollar per animal from his flock. There are
several other pretentious goatrfurmy throughout New
Mexico, California and Oregon. The largest goat-ranch in
the Mississimn vallev has two thousand head, but the
average flock in this country is from one hundred to five
hundred animals.
"The custom is to shear the goats early in April. Or
dinary hair sells for thirty-five to fifty-five cents a pound.
This common gratlo of mohair, which commands no espec
ially high price, is that whose length is less than twelve
inches; the ordinary fleece of one year's growth measures
about ten inches in length. Tho average mature doc will
shear from --six to nine pounds of mohair each year, while
the full-grown buck will yield from ten to fifteen pounds.
Previous to shearing, the flock is graded into classes of
does, bucks, kids and wethers. The fleeces are marketed
according to this classification. The American Angora
Goat association maintains a special mohair warehouse in
Boston, where the fleeces of practically all the Angoras in
this country arc marketed. At this depot the fleeces are
carefully cleaned, regraded if necessary, and baled ready
for consignment to the manufacturing plants, where the
raw ipohair is converted into clothing, rugs, book-bindings,
shoes and gloves.
"One very beautiful fleece, which was twenty-two
inches in length, sold for 0.50 a pound, the record price
for raw mohair in this country Four dollars a pound is
about the ordinary top figure.
"Land can be cleared by Angora goats of the worst'
brush. known to this country. for a little less than nothing.
How? Simply this: Angora goats will live on leaves and
weeds, leaving the hind cleaner and nicer than can be done
in any .other war." ., . . ,
