Fiber & shearing records

Fiber records that go past 'how many pounds'

Micron, staple length, kemp, crimp, and fleece color on every clip — not just a weight and a date. Watch each goat's micron trend across shearings and know which animals are actually holding their fineness.

The clip, recorded properly

Fiber buyers pay on quality. Your records should hold the numbers that set the price.

Every shearing, in detail

Weight, harvest method, staple length, micron, kemp percentage, crimp style, fleece color, and dust penetration — the grading factors a buyer actually asks about.

Micron trends per goat

Fineness drifts with age. Chart each animal's micron across shearings so culling and breeding decisions rest on the trend, not one year's sample.

Price, buyers, revenue

Price per pound and buyer on each clip, so you can see what your fiber actually earned — per goat, per shearing, per season.

Shearer records

Log who sheared and when. Handy when comparing clip quality across seasons or scheduling the next visit.

A fiber goat is still a goat

Coats hide condition, and parasites hit hard. The rest of the herd tools come along.

Health & parasites

FAMACHA scores, fecal counts, deworming with withdrawal tracking, and hoof trims — Angoras are less parasite-resistant than most breeds, so the records matter more.

Condition under the coat

Body condition scoring and weight logs catch the loss a full fleece conceals until shearing day.

Breeding for fiber

Full pedigrees, inbreeding coefficients, and kidding records — plus per-breed gestation for Pygoras and Nigoras, which run shorter than standard breeds.

Sell the animals too

Public farm page and marketplace listings for breeding stock, with sale records and buyer details when they go.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about fiber goat record keeping.

What can I record for each shearing?

Fleece weight, harvest method, staple length, micron, kemp percentage, crimp style, fleece color, and dust penetration, plus the shearer, the buyer, and price per pound. It's built around the factors that actually determine what a clip sells for.

Can I track micron over time?

Yes. Each goat's micron readings chart across shearings, so you can see fineness drift with age — the trend that tells you which animals to keep in the fiber flock and which to move on.

Does it work for Cashmere and Pygora, not just Angora?

Yes — Angora, Cashmere, Pygora, Nigora, and crosses are all supported, including per-breed gestation lengths for the smaller fiber breeds. Dual-purpose herds can track milk and fiber on the same animals.

Is fiber tracking included in the free plan?

Yes — free for up to 10 goats with fiber records, health tracking, pedigrees, and everything else included. Larger flocks upgrade to Unlimited.

Know your clip before the buyer does

Log this season's shearing with the numbers that matter, and next year you'll have a trend instead of a guess.
