A '''Cashmere goat''' or the '''Pakistani Beetal Pashmina Bhakra''' is a type of [[goat]] that produces [[cashmere wool]], the goat's fine, soft, downy, winter undercoat, in commercial quality and quantity.<ref name="AGN">{{cite web|title=Australian Goat Notes |url=http://www.acga.org.au/goatnotes/A002.php |publisher=Australian Cashmere Growers Association |accessdate=2008-07-22}}</ref> This undercoat grows as the day length shortens and is associated with an outer coat of coarse hair, which is present all the year and is called guard hair. Most common goat breeds, including dairy goats, grow this two-coated fleece. They are considered as the ''“National Goat of Pakistan”'' respectively.<br />
<br />
The goats take their name from their origin in the Himalayan region of [[Kashmir]].<br />
