@Goat Whisperer - thanks for pointing that out. I honestly hadn't thought of it!
I will have to rethink that idea...but don't Angora bucks do the same thing? I can't imagine people sheer their bucks and just throw that fiber away?!
So many things to consider, but thankfully I have time. I absolutely will not get goats until their fencing and housing is complete (did that with chickens AND rabbits...not gonna repeat that mistake again!)
Thanks again,
jean

I don't know what they do with the fiber off of the bucks. I know it gets washed anyway but I'd definitely want to have more info before buying the animal.

I probably wouldn't be a huge deal to toss the fiber from a buck. One buck can service many does, that alone will cover the cost.

But I really don't know much about fiber animals. I've helped clip angora goats in the past, but that's about it.

You could just keep two unrelated kinder bucks together. That would allow you to retain doelings… yes I'm an enabler :)
