Breeding recommendations
- Fiber harvest every 3–4 months to maintain pelt health.
- Lower volume of wool than other Angoras, but higher commercial value due to sheen.
- Frequent brushing required, but silkier texture is less prone to matting.
- Generally docile and attentive; benefits from quiet environments.
- Specialty fibre — boutique market.
