Goats

The Pygmy goat is hardy, alert and animated, good-natured and gregarious; a docile, responsive pet, a cooperative provider of milk, and an ecologically effective browser. The Pygmy goat is an asset in a wide variety of settings, and can adapt to virtually all climates.  Source: National Pygmy Goat Association

A Pygora goat is a breed purposely bred and then registered in Oregon by Katherine Jorgensen. She wanted an animal, which would produce fine fiber for hand spinning. She bred the Pygmy, a goat with short, soft down to the Angora, a goat with long silky fleece. The Pygora Breeders Association was formed in 1978. Since then, the Pygora has increased in number and popularity.   Source: PBA Pygora Breeders Association

Pycazz goats are a breed that is a cross of Cashmere and Pygora Goats which produce cashmere fine fiber that is harvested two times a year with a higher yield than the average Cashmere goat. This cross was started by Sandie Dass of Bryn Hollow Farm www.animalianart.com. Sandie has successfully shown Type B/C dark colored Pycazz at Cashmere shows. 

Bucks

Yes, all bucks smell, especially during the breeding season. The Pygora buck smells stronger than an Angora buck, but less than a Pygmy buck. When breeding season is over, bucks have very little scent.
When is breeding season?
The length of the day is the major trigger for does to come into season. Being close to a buck also helps cause the does to cycle. Each spring and fall the does will cycle and the bucks will start spraying themselves, putting on the cologne "guaranteed to get that special doe". The average cycle for does is every 18-23 days.
 

Does

Pygmy, Pygora, and Pycazz does bear one to as many as four young every nine to twelve months after a five-month (145-150 days) gestation period. Does are usually bred for the first time at about twelve to eighteen months, although they may conceive as early as two months.

 

Kids

Newborn kids nurse within a few minutes of birth. They eat grain and grass within one week. Kids wean by three months.
