pfft...
they are taking advantage of the designer dog breeds...labradoodles etc.
I cannot imagine a crossing of dairy and fiber being good offspring.
might as well go get some standard scrub/brush goats for $20 a head as that mix is offering nothing to anyone's gene pool.

It says they are wethers. No gene pool.

I'm going to guess they're an Angora Nigerian cross. "Pygoras" are fairly prevalent near me, so this doesn't surprise me. I guess the draw could be a smaller fiber goat for a home spinning hobbyist.

They might be Pygoras...but they seem a bit big to me. Then again, I haven't seen a full-blooded, Angora goat in the flesh, so I don't know how big they get. They may be huge.
Those wethers are definitely bigger than my Mini-Nubians, and nearly as big as my Alpines.

Sorry Alice...missed the wether part
Still see no use for them other than meat...and at $100 per head a pricey chunk of meat indeed.....they did not look to have the fiber gene from angoras.

My angora had floppy ears like a boer. She never grew that tall. She was about the size of a yearling nubian when she was four. A lot fatter though. The goat on the right in the picture looked like he had recently been given a bad scissor haircut. Yeah, I'm familiar with how those look. I would say they're a cross with a swiss breed but not a nubuan. I think the owner isn't sure if it's a newbeen or a boar or a sawnanen...

Angora=pure white purebred Turkish bred goat. They are always white.
Angorian=Colored goat with mostly Turkish breeding but with a colored ancestor somewhere in the line to produce colored fiber. Kind of like our American designation in other breeds.
They are still registerable and will produce good fiber.

I dunno, ya'll. They look like they could be a cross between an Angorian and one of those All Pens.

Manchamom, with those airplane ears, you know that any cross with any other breed happened *really* recently. At even 75% Angora, their ears would flop.

Learned something new there.
Here is Aurora, my purebred 4 year old Angora doe.
Sorry, but those CL wethers dont look much like her to me.

I'm not saying that person knows if that's really what she has. Just what the word means in relation to Angora goats. She could have been sold a bill of goods or she could be selling a bill of goods. There are many Angora Goats in Oregon of differing quality. I would suspect that this person may be related to the other Sheridan person who was desperately seeking an Angora buck a couple years ago.

I am very new to the Angora breed myself.
I do know that there are breeders here working to improve the fiber quality of colored Angoras.
I have a couple 'rejects' from those breeding plans. 
Its fine with me, since I am just keeping them as fiber pets (not breeding).

~smiles~ I am not getting down on the cross breeds, since my dream goat is a white, blue-eyed, F4 generation Saanen/Cashmere cross.
I am figuring that such a cross would give me about the production and butterfat of a Nubian for my cheese, enough cashmere fiber to make a pair of socks each year, and be OH so pretty to look at.
Wonder what an F4 60% Angora/40% Saanen would give me?

I was going to say maybe they were crossed with a PigMe Gote, but
I think they're a little large for that.

One of my Nubian girls had a short romance with my Angora buck a few years ago. (I hate unplanned pregnancy) Anyways, Gwendolyn had twins, a buck and a doe. Not good for dairy, not good for fiber. I sold them cheaply to some folks that just wanted a couple "pets".
