It's a pity you don't live in Oregon, my friend's give 'em away! To people that they know are capable of the work involved, and that they can keep an eye on. They are English Satin Crosses, and they are from good stock. There's a litter coming up actually, and soon they're going to get an English doe, so they'll be pure english/.
Angoras are INCREDIBLY easy to breed. You put the doe in with the buck, wait for two contacts, then proceed with normal bunny pregnancy procedure.
$60-80 sounds like a pretty good price to me, for pure angora.
Thought this was worth mentioning: Angora is hard to spin. On the spinning wheel, it breaks a lot (I know from experience!) There's a reason that Angora yarn is so expensive, it's a lot of work all around. Also, if you want to wear Angora, make sure it's an Angora blend, because unless you live in Siberia, you will die of heat stroke!
But really, it is too warm to wear.
When the bunny is naked (shaved or plucked or whatever) you will be able to let it roam around. We have a wire dog cage that lets the tips of the grass and clover through, so he can nibble, but he doesn't get filthy.
TidBit: You CAN spin almost anything. Whether you want to go to all the work is another. If it's animal hair, you can spin it. My friend has a sweater made out of poodle hair.
