The Kashmir Goat is native to the mountains of Kashmir in the western Himalayas. There is also a feral population on the Great Orme headland in Wales (famous for descending and "invading" the town when streets were deserted in Covid lockdown). A hardy goat, it has particularly soft, fine, long hair used to manufacture luxurious Cashmere fabrics.
It is also adept at "conservation grazing", eating coarse and thorny shrubs and saplings while allowing species-rich grassland to thrive. The adult billy Kashmir (not shown) has long, flattened horns which go backwards and then outwards.
