Introduction goats may be kept for milk, meat, or fiber (or a combination thereof). both angora and cashmere goats are raised for fiber, but differ in both fiber qualities and methods of fiber harvest. angora goats produce mohair. fiber from non-angora goats is cashmere. note that rabbits, not angora goats, produce angora fiber..
