Today (12/8/2012) was a very sad day at North Plains Alpacas, we said goodbye to Rico. He died in the early morning of congestive heart failure. We thank the Lord for such a gift, and so thankful for the offspring we have and the ones coming in 2012!
DDF Peruvian Rico Suave is an excellent example of long lasting fineness. Age 7 Rico's micron is at 17.1, SD 3.3, CV 19.3, %>30 0.4% and age 8, Rico still has a micron of 17.1, SD 3.5, CV 20.5, %>30 0.5, and now at age 10 (2010 testing), Ric... |

A son of the incredible Rico Suave (now deceased) whose fiber was at 17 microns at 11 years of age. This is lingering finenss and is an asset to every herd. , Marco's sire, Rico Suave had a 17 micron blanket. Rico's sire, Accoyo Elite, recorded 18 microns at 6 year's Rico's dam, Bobbie Anne, even more incredible considering the toll taken by pregnancy and nursing recorded a 19 micron fleece at 11 years of age. This, of course, is what Marco's great grandsire, Hemingway, is famous for also - lingering fineness into maturity.
Marco's dam, the medium brown Peruvian Rachelle, at age 9 posts a histogram AFD of 23, an SD of 4, a CV of 18, a curvature of 47 and a 6% of fibers > 30. She is half sister to Winchester (A Rafael son, winner of 80 championships).
Marco's density: 69/ sq mm S/P 10.8/1 as measured by Ian Watt.
