We will start with a little history on Rockstar and Eldora Suri Alpacas. Rockstar was co-owned and stood stud at Eldora Suri Alpacas from 2007 to 2013 when he passed away. In 2009, a barn fire wiped out all of Eldora's Rockstar offspring. We started over. The second wave of Rockstar offspring hit the ground in 2011 and began winning at top shows in 2012. In 2013, Eldora Suri Alpacas won Futurity Breeder of the Year, Small Farm Division, based mainly on Rockstar offspring. As of 2018, Rockstar offspring and grand-offspring have won 10 Judge's Choice Awards for Eldora Suri Alpacas since 2014. For a small farm with a herd count hovering between 15 and 20 alpacas, that's a notable accomplishment. Rockstar was a Futurity Herdsire of the Year. The Futurity is a unique show that ultimately defines the performance of herdsires across the USA. It is a world class show that is considered more difficult than Nationals or any other show. Whether you participate in the Futurity competitions or not, you should pay attention to which sires and grandsires are producing the top winners in Get of Sire, Championships, Judge's Choice and Herdsires of the Year at The Futurity. These bloodlines are the key to improving performance in your own program. It is remarkable to see that a very large percentage of past and current Futurity award winners AND top 1% EPD rankers have bloodlines that trace directly back to Rockstar. Read on for some interesting 'Firsts', 'Lasts' and Rockstar Trivia: 1. The last Rockstar son to be born at Eldora was Eldora's Accoyo Bravo, in 2013. Bravo is co-owned with Silverfield Alpacas. Bravo is the only full Accoyo line bred Rockstar son, sporting double Torbio/Rene lineage on both sides of his pedigree. Bravo has the greatest resemblance to Rockstar himself. Bravo's first offspring hit the ground in 2017 and will be seen at the shows starting in 2018. 2. Rockstar produced the following sires that are not only well known for their own awards but have also produced many award winning offspring: Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar, Accoyo Magnum, Eldora's Tempo, Eldora's Accoyo Talent, Eldora's Accoyo Maestro. 3. For the first time ever at the 2017 Suri Network Fleece Show, the coveted Spirit of the Industry award AND First Place Get of Sire were simultaneously won by the same alpaca. The winner was Eldora's Tempo by Rockstar, at 4.5 years of age. 4. Another first- Both Rockstar AND his son Maestro produced AOA Nationals Fleece Judge's Choice Winners: Eldora's Tempo by Rockstar (2014) and Silverfield's Marley by Maestro (2017). 5. Rockstar is the first sire to produce TWO Judge's Choice Winners at the Suri Network Fleece Show. The winners were Eldora's Tempo (2014) and Eldora's Accoyo Talent (2015). 6. The 2014 & 2015 Futurity Male Judge's Choice Winners are Rockstar Grandsons. And get this- each winner was sired by a different Rockstar son! Check back often for more Rockstar fun facts.

WOW oh WOW...Derwydd is stunned and proud to announce that Chaska is the SIRE of IAO Supreme Male Suri 2012. And if that were not enough.. also sire of IAO Spinners Dream Suri (Cottage Best in Show) 2012. AND the following IAO Champions: IAO Bright White Color Champion Male Commercial; IAO Light Color Champion Female - Cottage; IAO Medium Color Champion Male Cottage; IAO Suri Processing Length Champion Male; IAO Fawn Color Champion - Commercial Fleece. IAO 2011 - Sire of the Supreme Champion Fleece Suri! IAO 2010 - WINNER of the Supreme Champion Fleece Suri!! He killed em at IAO! FULL ACCOYO! FAWN!! 7 TIME Champion/Reserve 19 1st Place Awards! We are absolutely certain that Chaska will become one of California’s famous Accoyo Macho’s - producing fine fibered, locked to the skin & VERY lustrous, solid boned crias. Overall this male is excellent! He is a strong male with excellent substance of bone. Perfect Bite. Luster to burn. Locked to the skin in his first fleece AND his second fleece(he won 2 of his 7 championship in his SECOND fleece AND SUPREME FLEECE IAO in his THIRD fleece) He is true to type thru his head and overall proportions, exhibiting fineness, LUSTER, uniformity of character throughout the blanket and excellent density for fineness (see his 08 skin biopsy below!) We expect his progeny to exhibit the same excellent characteristics. Chaska’s dam, Accoyo Suri Princess has produced champion cria after champion cria (5). His sire Bruxo has had the same impact on the American Suri Herd that Caligula has had on the American Huacaya herd – one only has to observe their sons. He has a PROVEN pedigree.
