This shipment followed the Brown and Diehl importation, and consisted of
between one hundred and fifty and two hundred animals. A. Eutichides,
was a native of Turkey, and claimed that he had some fine goats, but he
had an immense amount of trouble with his Angoras, and lost a good many.
They were held in Virginia for some time, and then were sent to
Sacramento, California, and were afterwards sold by the express
company, at public auction, at very low prices. This was about 1873. It
was generally believed by old California breeders that some of the goats
offered at this sale were cross-bloods of California origin. The blood
of this importation, however, has been widely scattered over the Pacific
Coast.
