Here's our Angora Goats...

Where did the color come from. Are they crossed with the dairy goat. Angora's are white. Usually color comes in with some pretty intensive cross breeding outside angora lines
When we had angora's it was difficult to find any with a decent fleece that was not white

Good question, when we first got goats the mother was Angora and we were just learning, but I would have to ask my wife on the father as he was smaller.

I was just wondering as color is hard to come by in angora goats. I know they now have colored angora registry,but that is mote recent. Was wondering if colored angora's are larger because of the cross breeding . Those pictured seem larger and not as fine boned as your typical angora.
Wold like to see a colored angora in full fleece

I checked with my wife who knows each type, these are the "Boer" goats, she said the Angora goats we had some, so I'll see if I can get some pictures.
