Does it matter which breed, Pygmy or Angora, is used as the doe?
No, either way a Pygora is the result. However, if a Pygmy doe is chosen, consideration must be given to her size to insure a trouble-free delivery. Kidding problems are infrequent, and the kids are very vigorous and usually up and nursing within 15 minutes. What is the gestation of Pygoras? Pygoras have a gestation of 5 months, or 145-153 days. How many times a year can you breed Pygora goats? It is possible to get 3 kiddings in 2 years. This is hard on the doe, and should not be done often. Extra feed and care is a necessity for these does. Can you milk Pygoras? Yes, Pygoras give about 1 quart of milk a day. Must Pygoras be 50% Angora and 50% Pygmy? No, the mixture may contain up to, but not more than, 75% of one of the parent breeds. Is the first-generation cross registerable as a Pygora? Technically the first generation, or “F1” is not a true Pygora, but a hybrid. A hybrid is not a breed until it breeds “true”. We do, however, register “F1” goats and they are shown only in “F1” cla
