Thought I should share this nice little video of Arcady Glint’s fleece before shearing this year. At almost 66 months of age & in natural, unclipped condition. Even though I thought he was a dusty grub, his fleece still shows beautiful lustre.

Anyone for capeweed ?? 🤦‍♀️😣
This might look pretty but it is the result of the extensive dry over the past couple of years, topped off by more recent drought which actually killed a lot of perennial grasses.
Too dry to spray in autumn then too cold to spray in winter & now too advanced to respond to broadleaf spray…. the worst we have seen it in our almost 30 years here. Every property around is pretty much the same. There will be very little paddock feed once it all dries off. Scary. 😬

Final Show for the year in SA. At Strathalbyn. Joint halter class judges, Shane Carey & Kurtis Parker.
We only took 2 animals for halter, Arcady Glint & Appaloosa Clownfish (Nemo). This year they competed against each other in the Mature age group.
Both boys were awarded blue ribbons & very strong praise from the judges and then Nemo was awarded Champion. The judges said they could not go past his beautiful handle & micron that would be good in a junior. Both boys were roundly praised for their conformation & strength of frame.
Nemo was 54 mos & Glint 65 mos old. Also of note is that Nemo is with 8mos fleece regrowth and Glint has 11mos regrowth.
Very proud of both of these boys.

Sometimes shearing is a bit like unwrapping a Xmas present … you are never quite sure what it is. But we knew that Ash was an unusual colour …. and this is what we found. Unusual and rather lovely. Definitely does NOT conform to the colour chart ! 🤦‍♀️

Gosh. It is with such trepidation that I post this, I am such a wimp !

Our beautiful, multi-champion-winning SDF stud male, Arcady Glint, is in need of a new home & his own harem of quality girls. Quite simply, we do not have the work for him here.
He will only go to a kind home where he will be well-treated & maintained, and, especially, one where he will be joined with quality girls. He has thrown pretty-much every colour from white to true black and appaloosa, altho his most recent drop has produced more fawns & browns, and LOTS of females.
Glint has an impressive show record in both halter & fleece classes, at local & especially National level. In his current, 6th, fleece, I am still showing him in a completely natural, unclipped form.

Do you think you might be the next & best stud home for this stunning male ?
Be warned that I will be setting the bar pretty high.….

I am rubbish at taking fleece photos, but here is a half-decent pic of Arcady A Royal Scandal’s 2nd fleece. It is even nicer ‘in person’ & has a very sexy handle 😂

🫟🫟🫟ATTENTION HOBBYISTS & HANDSPINNERS ! 🥁🥁
Arcady Lumo. Another useful boy looking for his harem. We kept Lumo entire because he grows such an enormous (long-stapled) fleece and has held his micron. Are you a hobbyist/handspinner wanting to breed fabulous spinning fleeces ? Lumo might be your boy. Although he is solid light fawn, he has a brown sire (Arcady Gleam, sire of multiple broad-ribbon-winners at National level) and a black mother….go figure !🤦‍♀️ We must move him on. Not certified but healthy & ‘well-endowed‘ ready-to-work.
He is a big-framed boy & halter-trained (albeit probably a bit rusty 😉)
DOB 18/04/2021
