Comments:
A mature, successful mum, Arenaria is an outstanding female with a heritage that includes some of the most renowned Australian bloodstock. Highlander, Maid of the Mist, Brigantine, El Sol and Don Julio all appear on her pedigree. She is a very dense female (measured by skin biopsy) that has produced a line of super dense progeny. A son, Flowerdale Ardrossan won Champion Commercial Fleece at the 2008 Royal Canberra Show and Most Valuable Huacaya Fleece. Ardrossan has an exceptionally heavy cutting fleece.
Arenaria`s 10th fleece was still an exceptional 23.6 micron with SD of just 4.4. To top off the dense, fine fleece, Arenaria has a strong frame and is pregnant to 10 times Supreme Champion Camelot Tor. This female has much to offer the serious breeder.
