Welcome to Cattail Meadows Farm The Pygora goat is an extraordinary breed of fiber goat that was originally “created” in Oregon in the mid-1970’s by an inventive woman named Katherine Jorgensen. She wanted an outstanding homestead animal that would produce an exquisitely fine fiber for hand spinning. She bred a National Pygmy Goat Association (NPGA) Pygmy goat, with soft, downy fiber, to an American Angora Goat Breeders Association (AAGBA) Angora goat with long, lustrous, silky fleece, and the Pygora goat was born! The pedigree of the PCA goat may include goats registered in the PCA registry and the Colored Angora Goat Breeders Association (CAGBA), as well. Cattail Meadows is a Pygora and PCA fiber goat farm located on 15 acres of woods, pasture, and wetland…just 25 miles north of Spokane, Washington near the small town of Deer Park. Our farm is home to a happy herd of PBA registered Pygora goats & PCA registered fiber goats, an adorable sibling pair of Pygmy goats, a very special group of dogs and cats, and three very dignified guard llamas who help watch over everyone. Each of our goats enjoys lush, green pastures for grazing, cozy barns for shelter, and abundant daily doses of love and affection to nurture people-friendly dispositions and ease of handling. Raising and producing high quality Pygora and PCA fiber goats that produce exquisite, superior quality fleeces for hand spinning is the goal of Cattail Meadows Farm. At Cattail Meadows, we take pride in our herd management practices, and put forth extra effort to ensure the safety, happiness and well-being of each of our goats; they're not merely livestock, but an extension of our family. Our gentle-natured, people-friendly goats come from outstanding lineages, and produce outstanding, award-winning fiber. Pygoras and PCA fiber goats were an excellent choice for our “small farm vision” because we wanted to raise animals that were smaller in stature, were not raised for human consumption, and did not require high daily maintenance such as milking. We think Pygoras and PCA fiber goats are practically perfect in that they have outstanding temperaments…docile, yet inquisitive and playful. They produce an outstanding usable product, and help keep the pasture growth under control. Thank you for taking time to visit our Pygora and PCA fiber goat website. We love to talk about our goats and their amazing fleeces...and welcome your questions or comments.
