Stargazer's CAELI

Price: $19,000
Breed: Huacaya
DOB: 2008-08-30
Color: Light Fawn
Gender: Female

Description:
Caeli is a daughter of the renown PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, the 1999 and 2000 "Get-of-Sire" winner at the AOBA National Show, who set a record in October 2005 as the highest selling male in alpaca history. Knowledgeable breeders often say, "You can't have enough Royal Fawn genetics in your herd," because they know his record of passing on his fine-fibered genetics to his offspring.

Indeed, Caeli is a lovely light-fawn charmer whose good conformation, beautiful head, and show-girl presence has won her ribbons in every show that she has entered. Judges have commented on the outstanding fineness, handle, density, brightness and uniformity of her fleece. They have also noted her beautiful head, remarking on her "style," and saying, "You've just gotta love that head!"

Caeli produces beautiful offspring, judging from her first, Carlita, with her darling face, solid conformation and unbelievable fleece (long staple, beautiful brightness, even color and bold consistent crimp).

Caeli is bred to MFI Peruvian Jericho for an August 2012 baby. Jericho is a dark fawn male with a very advanced bundling dark fawn fleece which has remained amazingly consistent his entire life. He is the sire of the famous Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah who won both Light and Dark Herdsire of the Year and has gone on to produce numerous championship offspring of his own.

Fiber Stats

Fiber Stats Legend

Definitions for Units of Measure in Fiber Stats Chart

Mean Fiber Diameter - This number, expressed in microns (µ), is the average diameter of fibers in the sample. One micron is equal to 1/1,000th of a millimeter. The smaller the micron count, the finer the fiber. MFD and AFD (average fiber diameter) are two terms that describe the same measurement.

Standard Deviation - SD represents an average of individual deviations (plus or minus micron values) from the mean or AFD. The smaller the Standard Deviation, the more uniform the population of fibers measured. It is the most stable of variability measures and is used in the computation of other fiber statistics such as the Coefficient of Variation (CV).

Coefficient of Variation of Fiber Diameter - CV (or CVD) is the Standard Deviation divided by the Average Fiber Diameter multipled by 100 and reported as a percentage. The CV is used in the statistical analysis of different populations of fiber (different animals).

Fibers > 30 Microns - This number is the percentage of fibers in the sample that measure more than 30 microns in diameter. When this number is subtracted from 100, the remainder is known as the "comfort factor." For example, five percent of fibers over 30 microns corresponds to a comfort factor of 95 percent.

Spin Fineness - This number, expressed in microns (µ), provides an estimate of the performance of the sample when it is spun into yarn. It is derived through a formula that combines the measured mean fiber diameter (MFD) with the measured coefficient of variation of fiber diameter (CVD). For a given MFD, a lower CVD will result in a lower spin fineness number, indicating an improvement in processing (spinning) performance. A 5 percent decrease in CVD is equivalent to a one micron decrease in MFD in its effect on spinning.

Mean Curvature - Fiber curvature is related to crimp. Mean Curvature is determined by the measurement of two millimeter (2mm) snippets in degrees per millimeter (deg/mm). The greater the number of degrees per millimeter, the tighter the crimp.

SD Curvature - Standard Deviation of Curvature means that 34 percent of the fibers measured are xx.xx degrees per millimeter (deg/mm) higher than the mean curvature and 34 percent are lower than the mean. Sixty-either percent of the measurement in a normal distribution lies within the first standard deviation. The lower the SD, the more consistent the sample is.

Comfort Factor - When the percentage of fibers in the sample that measure more than 30 microns in diameter is subtracted from 100, the remainder is known as the comfort factor. The higher the comfort factor of a given fiber sample, the fewer coarse fibers are present in that sample and the more comfortable that sample would feel against skin.
