For several years beginners in the Angora goat industry were without
text books, and even to-day there are very few practical treatises. From
our forty years of experience in farming Angoras, and from the personal
observations of our Dr. W. C. Bailey, while in the interior of Asia
Minor, we have tried to select the essential points in the successful
management of Angora flocks, and to present these points so that they
may be used.
We have given a brief outline of the history of the Angora goat, but we
have devoted several pages to consideration of detail in breeding and
kidding. It has been our aim to make this a practical text book for the
beginner in the Angora industry, and if it proves of value to him, it
has fulfilled its mission.
