Reference:

Only in the Orenburg steppes, rich in grassy pastures, there is a special breed of goats, which between the wool grows a thin, dense and incredibly warm undercoat - down, protecting them from the harsh climate of the Southern Urals - strong snow storms, frosts, constant winds, from sharp temperature changes. At the beginning of the 19th century the owner of the Parisian factory for making French shawls - Mr. Guillaume Louis Ternot bought 1300 Orenburg goats. Soon it turned out that when the animals were kept in new conditions, the properties of goat down changed. The French found that the down became unsuitable for production purposes. It did not correspond to the quality that was present when goats lived on the Orenburg lands.
