Be careful about what you wash the mohair in, it will absorb the color, even an off white or a soft blue. It has to be a completely color free--meaning clear, not even a bit yellow in it cause mohair literally wicks color--not a bad thing, but sometimes very annoying.

A buck can be castrated at any age. I have banded bucks as old as 5 years, and they do just fine. A little Banamine, wait 10 minutes, and band, the older bucks seem to have less discomfort than the young ones.

Angoras are wonderful, they are really laid back animals. Congrats on your new goats.

I would say sell him after he gives you a few good kids.
People will pay for quality Angora Bucks.
Besides, if you want to keep him, once his 'girls' are preggo he will stop stinking so badly.
