A Manual of Angora Goat Raising by George Fayette Thompson Pdf
Excerpt from A Manual of Angora Goat Raising: With a Chapter on Milch Goats So far as history enlightens us, the goat has always been one of the best-known domestic animals. How long he has been in disfavor simply because he was nothing but a goat and been the subject of every funny man's joke, we are unable to say. The oldest accounts show him to have been a most useful animal in the furnishings of hair for curtains, skins for clothing and tents and meat for the tribes, yet down to this daybe has been maligned beyond reason, and that, too, by those who have worn his skin as gloves and shoes and capes, his hair as the finest of furs and ex pensive dress goods, and eaten his flesh as delicious lamb. There has recently been an awakening in the United States, especially among those who are ever ready to welcome and to dig nify any industry that is honorable and bids fair to pay dividends. And so it is that the Angora goats, the finest breed of the goat fam ily, is now receiving the credit that has long been their due. His usefulness is manifested in various ways, as is shown in the several chapters of this volume. The fleece, technically called mohair, furnishes some of the finest fabrics known among ladies' dress goods, as well as plushes, robes, rugs, etc.; their habit of browsing admits of their being put to an economic use as brush destroyers, thus enabling the farmer to subjugate his brushwood with little or no aid from the ax; their flesh is exceedingly delicate and nutritious and it finds a ready market; the milk, though not so abundant as with the established milch breeds of goats, is richer than cow's milk, and approaches very closely human milk in qual ity; their tanned skins are not suitable for shoe leather, owing to their peculiar texture, but good work gloves and morocco for book binding are largely made from them; their pelts, when properly dressed, make rugs and robes of striking beauty and great utility; owing to their freedom from goat odor, so well known of common goats, and especially of their great attractiveness and docility, they make the very finest pets for children; a few of them among a flock of sheep are in a measure a protection to the sheep against the invasion of dogs; their manure is noticeably helpful to the grass which springs up under them as they clear away the under brush.

A New Industry, Or Raising the Angora Goat, and Mohair, for Profit by William L. Black Pdf
Excerpt from A New Industry, or Raising the Angora Goat, and Mohair, for Profit: Embracing the Historical, Commercial, and Practical Features of the Industry; Together With Notes From a Number of Practical Breeders Giving Their Experience in Handling the Animal When this work was commenced, in the early part of 1899, it was for the purpose of supplying a demand for information from farmers in the Northern states, whose attention had been called to the Angora Goat as a Brush Exterminator. They had heard of the wonderful saving of labor in clearing away briers, and brush, by the use of this animal, and many were anxious. To purchase some, but were totally ignorant of their habits, and how to breed them. The great call for information, touching these questions prompted me to write a complete manual, through which a stranger might understand how they are han dled; and, as I pursued my work, I learned of the existence of a. Non-shedding type of Angora, as well as a harmless variety, which I considered to be of such importance to the old breeders in the industry that I determined to delay its publication until I could investigate more fully into the merit of the matter. I distributed a large number of question - blanks over all the States: that had been raising them, asking breeders if they had ever observed any such types of goats in their flocks, and, am pleased to say, I have received an abundance of testimony as to the existence of the same, and I feel quite sure that the discovery will be received with great delight by all who ar-e interested in this new industry, particularly the non - shedding type; for, if there is any one objectionable part to the raising of the Angora goat, it is the unfortunate feature of casting its hair so early in the spring, necessitating the early shearing of the animal to prevent the loss of the valuable fleece, which so often results in the death of many from a sudden change of weather, or a cold, rainy, season. Col. Richard Peters, of Georgia, always maintained that, the most serious objection he had ever experienced with the Angora Goat, was its tendency to shed its fleece too-early in the spring. If they can be made to retain their fleece as securely as the sheep does, so as to admit of shearing at the pleasure of the breeder, a great drawback in the industry will be overcome. That such a. Type as non-shedding Angoras exist, there can be no doubt; and, whether it has been produced by a freak of nature or has been evolved through the action of the American climate, or by crossing with our short-haired varieties, I cannot say. I realize the importance of the changed condition of the animal, and feel certain that all old breeders will rejoice to hear of it.
