Thanks for the info ya'll! I found some good stuff on the hair dying threads, and on ship's response. Thinking about trying kool-aid first, then if that doesn't work good enough, I'll probably get some dye from dharma trading co. I know it's cheaper to buy them already dyed, but it seems that the quality and length of hair is better on the white ones I buy from barlows. Ive gotten a pink one that had hair so short I could hardly grab it with my fingers, and the white ones and chartruese ones had good hair. Also Ive gotten plain yellow in place of yellow chartruese. I usually order the jumbo ones. The hair on my pinkie jigs is about an inch, so it must be a little longer than that when I cut it off the tail. Kid goat hair is supposed to be excellent, although Ive not handled any. It's fine and fairly straight, might have to order some of that from petes fly shop. I do have a momma goat on my farm, but she's right scittish, It would be tough stalking up on her!
