Best livestock alternative
for exceptional returns
Improve your bottom line with Cashmere goats bred for New Zealand conditions.
New Zealand Cashmere goats provide:
Premium Fibre Returns
Cashmere fibre is worth up to $150 per kilo. Due to the strong heritability of cashmere traits, many farms are able to produce fibres of 16 micron and lower in the first two years.

Alternative to Tree Planting.
Keep farming and utilise your harder country, goats enable you to grow high value produce (fibre and meat) and utilise land that has traditionally been unproductive or low performing. Alternative to blanket forestry.
Improved Capital Stock
Goats graze differently than sheep, beef and deer and improve pasture quality. Farming systems integrated with goats are proven to produce more kg of meat per hectare and finish stock faster. Read more.

Secure Market
The partnership between New Zealand Cashmere and Woolyarns provides peace of mind. A secure buyer for cashmere fibre is already in place. Fibre supply is required, and lots of it. Goat meat is also in high demand globally and a number of NZ meat processors are taking stock now.
