That's what I was thinking. Are he and his herd more like pets?

@DaddyEvil Yes. There isn't a lot of them yet and they have a lot of interaction with their humans.

I don't think the fleeces weigh much but it's still quite valuable.

Thanks for sharing that information. Clancy looks great and will definitely provide a lot of mohair for years to come.

@JudyEv I'll be impressed if he can make a living from keeping goats. It's practically impossible here these days to make a living from any kind of agriculture unless you have a big farm, otherwise it's just a hobby.

My nephew has given up work so needs to sell goats to bring in an income. The wool would be a useful sideline.

Clancy is a cool looking goat. I've never tried on mohair clothing but then here it never gets cold enough to warrant wearing anything that warm.

Clancy is beautiful.i don't think it's a goat.. because it's different from a goat.. it's a ram or ewe.. it's fleece doesn't cost much ..i think so...but if u r breeding it for meat then it's price may be higher

I can assure you it is a goat, not a sheep. It's bred for its fleece. There are other goat breeds that are bred for meat.

@Ajaz1234 It's okay. I know there are sheep breeds that look very similar but these goats belong to my nephew so I know they are not sheep. May I ask what country you live in? (You don't have to tell me if you'd rather not)
