But there’s a chance that it could even become rarer than it is now. There’s a threat in the cashmere industry and yet there might also be a solution that could cure all… The rarity of cashmere wool comes from the fact that it is created from the wool on a goat’s undercoat that only grows in winter. One goat produces as much as four ounces annually, resulting in not nearly as much production as the other fabrics that we can get. Its rarity is what makes cashmere ever so luxurious.

NimrodTheGoat Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 It was spider goats a few years back. They were mutating them to produce spider silk in their milk. yum. http://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-16554357/the-goats-with-spider-genes-and-silk-in-their-milk I wonder how strong the silk is. Also, https://phys.org/news/2010-05-scientists-goats-spider-silk.html They will plan to incorporate the genes into alfalfa plants. Interesting. We now know where Goat Simulator gets their ideas. I have yet to play the game surprisingly. I wish to buy it on Steam.
