AB  - The aim of this research was to determine the cashmere fiber production potential and quality characteristics in Turkish hair goat. In this study, 58 cashmere fiber samples taken from three different geographical areas were evaluated. Greasy cashmere weight (GCW), fineness, fiber length, cashmere out put, elasticity, resistance and degree of curvature were found to be as 46 ?1 g, 16.6 ?1 m, 25 ?1 mm, 87 ?1 %, 33 ?1 %, 2.5 ?0.1 g/den and 62 ?1 deg/mm, respectively. The area effect on GCW, cashmere out put and resistance was significant. In addition, the age effect was significant on GCW and fineness,however, the sex effect did not affect on all traits.
