Angora Goats

As the new millennium opened, it was decided that Daisy's Hill Farm would take a new
direction as well, and raise Angora goats for their fleece. A search on the internet revealed that
the Hat Creek Company of SueAnn and Jene Nissen in Marshall, N.C. was one of the top Angora
farms in the nation. The Nissens initially procured their top quality stock foundation over two
decades ago from the epitome of Angora breeding formed by the Haby, Lockhart, Ross & Speck
(HLRS) partnership in Texas. In 1997, the Nissens began adding 100% South African bloodlines
to their original champion bucks and does derived from superb Lockhart genetics. The result was
a vigorous hybrid breed that contained the best of both worlds - anatomy and physiology more
conducive for the breeding while producing high yielding mohair free from kemp. Our current herd
of Angora goats and their beautiful fleece are the result of this unique mix. We won our first
ribbons for the kid buck junior class at the 10th Annual Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair (SAFF)
convention in Asheville, NC in October 2003.

Our mentors, the Nissens, have also introduced us to a wonderful product, Chaffhaye, that
serves both as feed and hay. Our goats love this nutritious feed, and have greatly benefited by
it, as indicated by their health, vigor, and the beauty of their fleece. If you are interested in either
Chaffhaye or fleece, please contact us.
