Description:
The Angora goat (Turkish: Ankara ke�isi) is a goat from the Angora region in Asia Minor, near present-day Ankara, Turkey. It is first mentioned in the time of Moses, roughly 1500 B.C. The first Angora goats were brought to Europe by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, about 1554, but, like later imports, were not very successful. The fleece taken from an Angora goat is called mohair. A single goat produces between five and eight kilograms of hair per year. Goat shearing is done twice a year, in contrast to that of sheep which are shorn only once.
