You're welcome.
Eight years ago 😆 are you still breeding and milling cashmere wool and goat's❓ This was really sweet and you really took the time to explain what's important. It is a fragile process and this was gentle, kind and efficient for your little sweet and precious plooms🐐it was lovely to see the process not being a disturbing, massive production line.
Milling cashmere goat's is something I feel compassionate for and I thank you for sharing your flock and your wonderfully put knowledge. 🙏 I 🙏 you are all doing well 🙏🇦🇺
Yes, we still have cashmere goats. Thank you for your kind words!
It’s good you don’t hurt the goat like others do
This video answered a lot of my questions. Very well made. Thank you. I hope your farm is still doing well.
Thank you!
Thank you. Relieves my mind about the process for the animals. Sugar is adorable!
Thank you for this video! It is very obvious you love your animals and care greatly for them :)
_I think there's a difference from here to the factories in China and Mongolia. Here, the goat is super calm._
Nobody will say so, but it is because the industry here is 1000 times more ethical than the industry in China and Mongolia... Please understand I am not saying every cashmere farmer in continental Asia abuses their goats, but as a whole the level of care given to each goat and the quality of life of each goat is far better in the western world.
@@dolphinlover3001 The same with Alpacas shearing, the industry in south america is so damn cruel!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
This is why I’m obsessed with cashmere, I went to a farm and the goats came running and rolled over to have their bellies brushed. They were older and had been combed many times so they just thought “oh! it’s spa day.” 🥺
Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting. Much easier than shearing as in Angora goats. Would love to have some.
Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed this video very much thanks for posting this! :)
This was very helpful.
think about using goat coats, the kind that let air through but keep out veg matter?
Very beautiful goat! Good video~ I have been pondering on getting a cashmere goat.... how would you describe their temperament with people and the other animals on the farm? Are they good milkers? Thanks! :-)
Thank you so much for the great information 🐐🐐🐐
Absolutely beautiful
I would love to see some technices or how you separate the wool from the dirty wool
very nice, well done.
It's a very nice storage basket. Where did you get it from?
Good afternoon. I am considering using goats for clearing undergrowth on a large property. How are Cashmere goats at this task? I am not interested in milking goats as they would be browsing whatever is there, including poison ivy. The Cashmere goat is appealing due the thick coat and the presence of a lot of briar. My daughter asked about harvesting wool and you make this look pretty easy.
Cashmere goats would be great for clearing brush!
After seeing vid of angora rabbits I wonder if uncomfortable for them being combed? What's the comment about kaolin or potato starch powder - does it make them bleed? She seems a placid creature, I guess has had it done many times before.
does not hurt any more than brushing your dog or your own hair. kaolin[white china clay] or potato or corn starch powder are better than commercial with its chems and cost.
Super awesome and informative. Thank you so much. Muchly huggles from South Africa, Johannesburg. QUESTION: Why comb - why not shear?
Shearing takes a special skill that I don’t have. Also, when you comb you get the whole fiber, you don’t take the chance of cutting it short like you do with shears. And the goats still look pretty when you’re done. :)
@@MTNhollow Makes total sense. Thank you so much.
"nooo my beautiful cashmere"
is it sore pulling goats by their horns?
hurts no more than helping you get up from sitting on the ground by pulling you by the arm to help you get standing. their necks are strong [stronger than your shoulder and arm]
Hiw big are your goats?
Females are about 70 lbs, males 100 lbs
I thought a plane crashed in the background or something, lol.
I was so relieved when she said it was the UPS guy!
What breed is it?
Cashmere
so weird say way people collect dog hair make sweaters seem same way do this. so no shaving them like do sheep?
You could do it more gently, goat isnt enjoing it not even eating what you gave it! Animal cruelty it is
it's not animal cruelty, it's just unnatural to the goat, of course it's not enjoying it, but it's better to have an animal that's groomed an taken care rather than matted mess.
Good god I wish that woman would quit talking for at least half the video. damn she's annoying
She knows more than you ever will comprehend
