Hugging cashmere goats in Inner Mongolia

Such amazing experience seeing and hugging cuddly cashmere goats in Ordos, Inner Mongolia! The best cashmere comes from cashmere goats in Inner Mongolia because of the extreme weather. The fine cashmere fiber close to the skin insulates these animals from the bitter cold.

The award-winning breeding cashmere goat. So graceful and elegant.
