Description

With Black Beau's Ariana it's understandable where the great conformation as well as the awesome fleece comes from as you look at the background of her sire, Black Beau. Besides her sire, the fineness of the fleece is something notable in her dam Lianka's lineage. As Ariana has matured the luster of her fiber has stayed clear to the skin, the fineness of fiber is obvious, she has consistent lock structure throughout her fleece, there is a beautiful drape to her locks, and her fleece is extremely dense. She's Beautiful!

Ariana's show career was while she was a yearling and she had just turned one year old. She was 13 to 14 months old competing against much older yearlings. We probably should have continued to show her on into the next spring, but by that time we decided to keep her as a production female and it didn't seem worth it. Ariana has had a fiber sample submitted to AOA to be part of the EPD rankings done each year. We feel her overall EPDs are the best of any production female in our herd and can be seen by clicking on the EPDs link.

Ariana had her first cria on May 3, 2017. It weighed 16.4 lbs. The sire was Bojack. It's a gorgeous dark brown female! Ariana is an attentive mother to her cria and provides good milk as the cria has grown steadily. Ariana had a light-medium fawn male cria sired by Tapestry's Rockstar Legend on June 5, 2018. He weighed 22.6 lbs and has great fleece characteristics.

Ariana had a 21 lb. male cria sired by Alaskan Gold on 7/9/2019. He is a medium fawn. He developed beautifully and has a great Suri phenotype. HIs skin biopsy shows that his wonderfully organized fleece has density, fineness, and uniformity. We named him ANDACAL's Klondike Gold and have kept him as a herdsire.

Ariana was bred to Micah for a 2021 cria and it arrived 7/16/2020. It was a girl weighing 18.4 lbs. and she has a stunning fleece. Her fleece is beautifully lustrous, it's fine, it's very dense, and it is organized with an advanced lock structure. We named her ANDACAL Micah's Gabrielle and she had a very good show career including a Judge's Choice.

Ariana had a multi colored male cria weighing 22.4 lbs on 7/21/21. His sire was Page Master. He's got a great phenotype and a beautiful fleece. He has all the makings with his exemplary phenotype and outstanding fleece qualities of being a future herdsire. We named him ANDACAL's Guardian Of The Galaxy.

Ariana had a light fawn female cria weighing 25.2 lbs on 7/30/22. She was sired by Bold Ruler. All early indications are that she could end up being a special one. Ariana was sold to Sapaveco's Ranch where she had two crias for them. We have purchased her back from them with a beautiful fawn cria by her side that was born 12/25/25. We named her Holly and she's going to be a good one. We can't wait to see Holly grow and develop. Her sire is H & S Double Portion.
