Stargazer's Contender by Callisto
Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Unproven | White
ARI# 32517354, D.O.B. 11/3/2013, Full Peruvian
Sire: Stargazer's Callisto_deleted ARI#
31438636 White Callisto’s lineage was always among the leaders in our herd for achieving progress towards our production goals. So it isn’t much of a surprise that it is his turn to take the reigns and has taken over much of his sires breeding assignments.
We knew Callisto was going to be special before he was even born. From any perspective, he qualifies as “Having It All.” Every pairing in his pedigree has followed a plan that we had hoped would eventually produce this male. Even as a cria his fleece was a great representation of the champion and show winning lineage he came out of.
We have dealt with hundreds of alpacas in the 16 years we've been raising alpacas and Callisto is among the most memorable(we mostly refer to him as Carlos). Carlos is among the highest ranking males in the ARI EPD program for elite, lifetime fineness and increased FW (density). Not only is his fiber spectacular, and his conformation superb, he also exhibits the presence and disposition that makes raising alpacas rewarding on a more personal level. He is simply a beautiful male in every regard.
The qualities of the Allianza and Sollocotta cross is coming through beautifully. His pedigree is packed with best of Accoyo, Allianza and Sollocota genetics. He's out of our champion Accoyo Augusto daughter, Stargazer's Catena, and sired by Multi-Champion Accoyo America Apocalypse (Hemingway-Nautilus).
Elite pedigree and an accomplished show record, plus top EPD's. This male is capable to bring your herd into the top of of a very competitive class. His first cria have arrived and they continue to highlight their sires influence.

Dam: Stargazer's Ellie ARI#
31750301 Beige Ellie has a solid herdsire pedigree along with one of the top EPD rankings. Her dam, Eleanor, is the #1 female in the US EPD program that is tested to lower AFD and increase fleece weight.
Ellie is one of the overall top ranking female alpacas in N America. With so much unbiased data it doesn’t leave much room for guessing what quality she'll produce.
The following are Ellie's ranking among more than 7,500 alpacas in the 2013 ARI EPD program.
Reduce AFD = Top 1%
Spin Fineness= Top 1 %
Lower SD = Top 10%
above average FW
Reducing Fibers Greater than >30micron = Top 2%
Increase Curve = top 5%
Lower the percentage of Medulation = top 2%
Description
This exceptional male is proven and from the highest quality breeding stock. He will have royal baby grade fiber for years. This was a great match up of a dam and sire utilizing EPD's. This paring with help provide more balance placing most of his traits in the top 1% and 2%.
Somehow a spot showed up on his left front shoulder(and it won't wash off)! Unfortunately that takes him out a top spot in our solid white breeding program. This is a beautiful young male that has a great deal to offer. He is ideally suited to a colored or multi-colored program that is looking to produced Royal Baby grade fiber.
He has some great genetics. His first year AFD was under 16 micron and will likely stay under 18 until age 5-6 and then increases by a micron or two in later years. It is unlikely he will ever go above 21 micron AFD in his lifetime.
He has a quarter size fawn spot on his left front shoulder.
