I searched the net for the breed "straight haired angora" but did not find it. Has anyone heard of that breed and if so is this buck one.

How tall is he? Looks like a Boer/Nigi or Boer/Pygmy to me, by the beard, ears and coloration. There are a few Nigi lines with long hair over the back and skirts.

I'm not sure about that. I pretty sure it wasnt a long haired angora

ok, the previous owner is new to goats so I'm not suprised that wasnt the correct breed. That could be why a supposed wethered Angora :lol: got to winter over with all her nanny goats. One of her other goats was birthing when she delivered Amy (SURPrISE!!!). I said that Amy goat looked knocked up when i first saw her. LOL They got surprised when they sheared this this buck this spring and found out he still had a set :lol: :lol: :th
Nice looking Buck excellent fake out :lol: he should produce some nice Pygora kids. this shot is just before spring shearing

That buck appears to be part Toggenburg.

This is a pic of our buck when he was young. The one in your pic has the same structure, face, ears, and coat consistencey.

The owner was told it was an angora/pgymy cross, it looks nothing like my two little bucks Orion and fizzBo

I'm siding with Kate on this one. He looks Boer/Nigi to me :D

I'm not expert either. The 2nd goat I bought was supposed to be a Pygmy....HA! NOT, but I didn't know any different. We all live and learn. He's very handsome BTW :)
