GOING GOATY!!breeding pygora goats- or pygmy and angora goats?
OK I have 2 questions. I understand that pygmy goats do not own a seasonal ovulation cycle-ie. they can get pregnant year round, what about angora goats? What about the cross between angora and pygmy? I'd similar to to keep and breed these animals possibly starting my own 1st generation crosses, but I cannot find any info on the pygoras specific heat cycle which will be influential to a breeding program OBVIOUSLY. Any help?

All goats hold the same heat cycle. It can be any time really. I have raise goats for ten years, and they cycle anytime. Usually breeding season is not till fall, but they can breed anytime. It is possible for a cross between the two. I have had a boer/pygmy cross even and profusely of dairy goats crossed with boer goats.
