Benleigh Moon Shine
The Proof of Progeny and Power of Pedigree

Moon Shine brings the best of the legendary accoyo Purrembete peruvian bloodlines.

Moon Shine, through his sire Inti, and Grandsire Ledger's Dream, is 75 percent accoyo.

His fleece demonstrates fineness, crimp, and density, and these traits pass on to his offspring.

Moonshine progeny

His histogram is near perfect!

histogram 19.28 microns at 18 months of age
cv 22% (uniformity of fibre)
sd 4.25
fibres over 30 only 1.7%
spin fineness 19 microns
shearweight 4 kg (annualised)
   
7th Shear 28.6 micron, 27.9 SF
near perfect histogram
Progeny: Moon Shine was born 6/12/1997 and now has over 230 registered descendants. Moon Shine is producing excellently conformed cria, in the 18 to 21 micron range, with density.  He is throwing offspring that look similar — like "peas in a pod".

Moon Shine is one of the most successful sires in New Zealand. Show results stand as an accolade to his progeny success.

Put to some of our, and our clients', better females, Moon Shine has produced numerous show quality offspring and Show winners.

Moon Shine's progeny have won 149 ribbons - including 16 championships and 3 Supreme, as animals and for their fleeces.

His son NZ Southern Tucson Gold won Supreme Champion Huacaya at the Royal Show 2002. (pictured right)

Moon Shine won Sires Progeny — with different progeny — at every Show the class was held in the 2002 show season. He has won Sires Progeny five times and been placed six other times.
