C. P. BAILEY,
PREFACE.
Drawing on forty years of hands‑on experience, this guide offers a straightforward roadmap for anyone new to Angora goat farming. It condenses the essential points of flock management, from selecting breeding stock to handling the first kidding season, into clear, step‑by‑step instructions. Readers will find practical tips on housing, feeding, and protecting their herd without wading through technical jargon.
The book also weaves a concise history of the Angora goat, tracing its roots from the rugged plateaus of Asia Minor to the comparable climates of the American Midwest. Detailed sections explain how diet, climate, and simple shelter choices influence mohair quality, and they include illustrated advice on breeding strategies that respect the animal’s natural habits. With a focus on low‑cost, sustainable practices, the text prepares novices to build a thriving, profitable flock.
