The
Pygora
goat
was
purposely
bred
and
then
registered
starting
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
1987.
Since
then,
the
Pygora
has
increased
in
number
and
popularity.
Today
the
registered
Pygora
goat
may
not be
more
than
75% AAGBA
registered
Angora
goat
or 75%
NPGA
registered
Pygmy
goat.
