Alshaa League, located in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, has been dedicated to breeding high-quality cashmere goats by implementing standardized breeding throughout their life cycle.
The Alshaa cashmere goat, belonging to the esteemed Inner Mongolian cashmere goat family, holds a prominent position as one of the three major brands. Renowned for its exceptional qualities, this breed stands out with the highest standards in terms of fineness, brightness, and whiteness, not just within the region but on a global scale.
