The Cashmere Producers of America was a nonprofit organization dedicated to the American Cashmere Industry. Its goals were to define American cashmere, educate growers, establish a true American breed of cashmere goat, promote 4H, encourage goats as part of established livestock industries and maintain an industrywide focus on quality. CaPrA has entered a hiatus and is no longer an active organization

CaPrA strives to maintain industry wide standards. We have certified judges and established guidelines for regional shows. Classing Clinics can be held. Contact the WebMaster for more information.

The best test of a cashmere goat is to put it up against others in a regulated competition. CaPrA did not maintain a Herd Book, designed to identify and track superior genetics.

To locate CaPrA members in your area, go to the membership directory and find who lives near you. Visiting with established growers is the best route to success.
