Kashmir goat is not just a goat - it's a *luxury factory!* It's special because of its undercoat: *1. It makes Pashmina - The King of Wool* - That super soft, warm, expensive shawl? It comes from inside this goat. - Outer hair is coarse, but inside there is a super fine undercoat called *Pashm* - Each goat gives only *80-170 grams per year!* That's why a pure Pashmina shawl costs $200-$1000. - Collected by combing in spring, not shearing. *2. Superpowers to survive Himalayas:* - Lives at 14,000 ft in -40°C in Ladakh & Kashmir - Grows that Pashm to survive the cold - Very hardy, climbs mountains, eats almost anything Looks - Small body - 75 kg only - White mostly, but also grey, brown, black - Curved horns, small ears - Looks simple, but worth more than a cow But you can cross with local goats for better hair and giant size offsprings
