Ken;

please do send a sample of goat's hair.

Goat's hair is what we usually (in the two cases where we've actually 
had it formally identified) find in late 19tn and early 20th century 
lime/sand/hair plaster. Several later casual identifications I've done 
myself with the trusty pocket microscope from that period looked like 
goat's hair. We have also seen cow hair, wool, and cocker spaniel hair.


Take care, work safe and keep in touch.

John
