Established in 1995 at Pearcedale and relocated in 2010 to Boolarra Sth,  Stokesay Mohair Farm is home to one of Australia largest herds of rare coloured angora goats as well as a herd of traditional white angoras. The goats are shorn twice yearly and the fibre made into knitting yarn, prepared for hand spinners, felters and doll makers. Mohair also makes excellent Santa beards, theatrical wigs, fairy hair and fabulous mohair rugs and fabrics. 

Each year a limited number of our exotic coloured mohair goats are offered for sale.

This is mohair as you've never seen it before - sultry and sensuous. Please contact us via email if you would like a copy of our 'Black is Beautiful' brochure, which gives an overview of the management and needs of these beautiful, intelligent animals.

Additions to our flock

At an auction in Seymour we were fortunate enough to purchase two elite bucks from interstate, Cedar Grange Havana (NSW) and Lynndon Grove Falcon (SA). These bucks will bring valuable new genetics into our herd and should open up new breeding opportunities in the future.

Other recent purchases include a beautiful yearling doe, Culbookie Tanie from NSW.

Stokesay Mohair Farm is also home to a small herd of boer cross goats, used for weed control in a couple of steep gullies at the Boolarra farm. These goats are very robust, surviving, and in fact thriving, in conditions that most other animals would find a challenge. Pictured at right are Rusty and Dorothy happily at work at Boolarra.

Snow at Boolarra Farm

In August 2005, Boolarra was blanketed with a thick carpet of snow, closing the roads and making access impossible.  The goats enjoyed the cold conditions, playing happily in the snow. (Thanks to our very kind neighbour Noel for this photo of our property, taken from our front gate.)

Making Hay at Boolarra Farm

First, the grass is cut and left to cure for several days, then it is raked into windrows (as pictured right).

 The windrowed hay is baled.

The bales are then collected and stored in a huge hay shed until such time as it is needed.
