The Xinjiang goat breed from the mountains of Xinjiang in China is used for the production of milk, cashmere, and meat.
[1][2] Annual cashmere yield is 137 g, with a cashmere length of 5.0 cm and a diameter of 12.74 μm.
Cross-breeding with the Liaoning Cashmere breed has been found to improve cashmere yield and length at the cost of increased fibre diameter.
