Can anyone confirm the existence of this "Moe Goat"? All the sources I can find claim it's the Angora.
Is mohair really a popular material to make teddy bears? None of mine are made out of mohair, and I can't see mohair as the best material for a teddy bear. Loggie 22:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] shearing injuries to sheep
http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/nqfdocs/units/doc/20109.doc - this page from NZ government allows for skin cuts while shearing sheep. Other references support this, so I removed comparison to sheep not being harmed. Bob98133 17:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
