Developing Faure Island Goats for Long Stapled Cashmere
This project formally commenced in July 1990. A brief introduction to the project was given
to the cashmere industry in 1991 (McGregor 1991). The background to the reasoning for the
project has been given by one of the owners of the goats used in this research (Moylan 1996).
The origins and evolution of the Faure Island goats and the source of the base flock for Faure
Victoria have been researched as part of this project (McGregor 1995a) and a revised copy of
that paper is included in Appendix I.
