AI for goats

[edmonds]

Artificial insemenation is often used with breeding cattle, but how about for goats? I have Spanish goats with cashmere hair but do have a buck and would rather not have to build a seperate pen for one. And there are nearby farms with cashmere in northern Alabama. Anyone k ow of ai usage in breeding goats?

AI is very common in goats- finding semen for what you want is a treasue hunt!

Try googling the goat semen processors- some may have cashmere semen, and they usually ship, but you would need an N2 tank to store it- these are expensive- mine was $900 new.

You may find you are better off to buy a buck.
