PYGORA GOAT INTRODUCTION
Crossing a registered American Angora Goat Breeders Association (AAGBA) goat with a registered National Pygmy Goat Association (NPGA) goat originally creates the Pygora goat. This first cross is considered a First Generation (F-1) cross and is so marked as a F-1 on its registration papers. The second generation is considered the true Pygora. The Pygora can be breed to another pygora or back to a NPGA or AAGBA animal but the ratio of pygmy to angora is not to exceed 75% of either parent breed. All Pygora goats must have fleece as described in the Breed Standard of PBA. PICTURED: The first Angora doe used by the PBA founder, Katherine Jorgensen.
