Cashmere Goat Association

NWCA - CGA Fleece Competition

                                                     October 15, 2021

                                                     Rhinebeck, NY

The joint CGA/NWCA Fleece Competition for 2021 was held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY, on the Friday October 15th, before the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival.  Nearly 100 fleeces from all over the United States were submitted for assessment. 

Wendy Pieh from Springtide Cashmere in Bremen, Maine, was our judge, assisted by David DeLaMater, who has just been recognized as CGA fleece judge. 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 meet the North American Cashmere Goat standard for fleece quality became eligible for registration in the CGA Cashmere Goat Registry.

In 2022, the joint NWCA-CGA Fleece Competition was sponsored by the NWCA and held in July.
