Rico just won Reserve Championship at the 2010 Maturity! Safleys comments " I wish I owned this male" "Amazingly fine". Rico is redefining how we measure fleece....by the LIFETIME CLIP WEIGHTS! He is on schedule to produce 50-60lbs of under 18 micron fleece!!!!! Do you know of any other alpaca with a Lifetime clip weight of even 15lbs of 18 micron or less fleece? ....Every way you look at it, this boy is a super freak. This is such an opportinity for breeders in the EAST. Rico will be staying OHIO thru AOBA Nationals this Spring. Make arrangements to get some of his incredible lingering fineness genetics into your herd. Super Savings on Drive By Multiple breedings. Just heard today Sept 2009, Ricos sire, Accoyo Elite, breedings can be purchased for $15,000! Look what Rico just accomplished at the level 5 CABA fleece show. Absolutely incredible for a breeding 8 year old Stud "Judges Choice Fleece" at 2009 CABA 8-year old fleece "Judges Best Brightness" 2009 CABA 8-year old Fleece "Judges Best Hand" 2009 CABA 8-year old Fleece Ricos 7 month old daughter won 2nd halter beige Ricos 7 month old son won BLUE halter beige!

You dont want to miss out on these incredible genetics(Accoyo Elite/Hemingway). To make things easy , Mobile breeding service will be available within 100 miles of The AlpacaRosa. DDF Peruvian Rico Suave is an excellent example of enduring Lingering fineness. Age 7 -histogram-- AFD 17.1, SD 3.3, CV 19.3, >30 0.4 Age 8 (2008).....

Probably, the same thing I thought at first glance. C'monnnnn, Can this be true? 17 micron at 8 years old with that kind of Brightness & crimp staying power??........... you Betcha! Is this picture really his 7 year old fleece?......... YEP, I took the pic myself As Ohio Breeders "felt" first hand themselves last year, Rico is THAT fine! Folks! THIS is why we are bringing Rico Suave to The AlpacaRosa, again!. My freinds in Oregon(Tim Graber,Richard Curanas) could see how passionate I was with insisting that they allow Rico to travel east to the Ohio Valley and spread his amazing genetics. Skin Biopsy results : Wow! Norm Evans makes the following comments after conducting testing on Ricos 8 year old fiber: “I don’t know how old this male is, but (Rico)this is the best micron count I’ve ever tested” (if he had only known Rico was 8!) “Rico demonstrates an awesome sebaceous gland structure” “Rico is in the top 1% of all alpacas I have tested” follicoles here are the results by the numbers: 68.75 follicles /sq mm 10.67 to 1 S/P ratio(lower since he was 8 at time of test) <20% secondary medulated fibers 0 = fibers above 30 micron 100 secondary fibers averaged 16.5 micron !!! If you have been going to the shows the last few years, you know the emphasis being placed on lingering fineness and staying power. Infact, did you see the results at the 2008 AOBA Nationals? 5 year old, Snowmass Matrix won the championship in light males. Similarly, in 2009, a 4 year old male won the white male championship. This is the future of high $$ yeilding alpacas. Have you heard about the Maturity show coming? This will be a show with empahasis on Lingering alpaca quality. With his pedigree consisting of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite and Peruvian Hemingway, Rico can rejuvinate your herd with incredible fineness with staying power. His offspring are also expressing very low microns with staying power. Rico has allowed color to pass 70% of the time, med brown being the darkest from a med fawn. We do have some evidence that Rico produced "black" when 9 month old twins were aborted from a black dam and one of the crias appeared to be black. Rico's dam is 12 years old with a 20 micron and 14CV!! ahh yes, Hemingway. Never heard of Rico? Heres why. Rico was born in Oregon on a farm of mostly suris and never shown. With Very few huacayas to breed him to, only 20 offspring(as of July 08) are on the ground to date. Not surprisingly, Rico's Full Brother, Elite's Maximus, did win plenty of awards & a Championship or two, however, Rico is finer at 8 years old than his champion brother was at 1 year old! Also, Elite Maximus is closed to outside breedings. Rico's current owners bought him last year as a lost diamond in the rough. Opportunities like this dont come around that often , sieze the day!
