The joint CGA/NWCA Fleece Competition for 2025 was held at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Greenwich, NY, on Sunday, September 21st, in conjunction with the annual CGA Goat Show.    

Fleeces were evaluated on each of the elements that have been identified in the North American Cashmere Goat standard, which include fiber diameter, style, differentiation, length, uniformity (consistency), yield, and the total down weight of the fleece.  Participants received a scorecard with a detailed record of the evaluation, and goats whose scores met the North American Cashmere Goat standard for fleece quality are eligible for registration in the CGA Cashmere Goat Registry.

Pam Marshall served as judge.
