AOA NATIONAL FLEECE SHOW JUDGE'S CHOICE!

GOLDSTAR'S ZOLTAR

Goldstar's Zoltar is the son of Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar. Goldstar has won 20 Get of Sires with 3 of them at Nationals, 3 at The Futurity, and 1 at the Suri Network All Suri Fleece Show. Goldstar has been taking his great Full Accoyo genetics and passing them on to his offspring to create champions since at least 2012 when he won the first of his 19 Get of Sire championships.

Goldstar’s sire is the great Rockstar making him grandson of the outstanding Accoyo herdsire Torbio. That lineage of males is known for consistently producing progeny with beautiful conformation and with fleeces that are fine, dense, nicely locked, and lustrous. That line is definitely prepotent. That prepotency is exhibited in Zoltar. Zoltar has those attributes and to insure that he will be a densely fleeced alpaca, he was born with great folds of skin on him. Yes, he had wrinkled skin!

Zoltar's dam Zarina has great genetics in her pedigree, too. It's a wonderful mix that includes some great Accoyo herdsires in Inca, Bruxo, MacGyver, Uribe, and Accoyo Gold. Her first son by USA Peruvian Jaguar was excellent. He had the misfortune to be born the same month as our Black Beau's Comet and Comet was spectacular. Her 3rd male cria was 1st in a competitive juvie class of 6 at the 2019 AOA Nationals at age 7 months. He was sired by Micah. She also has a nice male by Page Master in 2019. Her sons show Zarina is an excellent producer as she has had 4 really nice crias sired by 4 different males.

A sample from Zoltar's 2019 shearing has been submitted for EPDs and look at that histogram! Wow! Those are excellent stats! Check out his excellent EPD rankings by clicking the link. He had a skin biopsy in 2020 at age 3. His density is 71.8 follicles/sq mm, SAFD 18.7 microns, PAFD 22.2 microns, and that's an S to P spread of only 3.5 microns.

Zoltar has had solid results in the show ring. He had a fiber break as a juvie and halter shows were only as a shorn yearling. He had nothing but blue ribbons in his previously shorn halter classes. He's been considered for Color Championships, but never won a banner. The fleece shows have been different. He's back to back Light Male Color Champion in 2019 & 2020 at The Suri Network All Suri Fleece Show. He was not only champion at the 2020 AOA National Fleece Show, he also won Judge's Choice at that show.

While wins at shows are nice, we are more concerned about the crias he'll sire after all this showing is done. We feel confident he'll sire really nice ones. A number of Goldstar sons are now the ones winning the Get of Sires at the shows like AOA Nationals and The Futurity. If Zoltar is like his dad Goldstar, who didn't have but 1 RC banner in his show career, and then later went on to win 20 Get of Sires because of his outstanding offspring, then we'll be happy. We have confidence that Zoltar will be an excellent herdsire!
