We will be starting our Spring breeding season without Rico. It will be an emotional time. We are still committed to giving you the best.

Today (12/8/2011) was a very sad day at North Plains Alpacas, we said goodbye to Rico. He died early this 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!

Take a look at Rico's final histogram, 2011.
DDF Peruvian Rico Suave is an excellent example of long last...

Description

What an attractive male! Orion Suave has the head, and the conformation to be a herdsire. Best of all he has the fleece! It is ultra soft and bright, bright, bright! You can tell just how bright he is when he walks by! He grows a nice staple length and the crimp goes all the way to the tips. It is a high amplitude medium frequency crimp style. He also has good density to his fineness.

Of course, this boy has a great pedigree as well! His dam, Sara, is a Pulitzer daughter and a Titan granddaughter! His sire is the well known DDF Peruvian Rico Suave, who is now passed. Orion has all the makings to produce great offspring!

We had a skin biopsy done by Norm Evans in 2015 which reads:

"NPA Peruvian Orion Suave" grades a true density of 81.88 follicles SQ MM of skin. Note the 8 fiber clusters on scan that show an average S/P of 11.4 to 1. Twenty five clusters have an average S/P of 11.6 to 1.
Orion's spread scan shows level 3 of 4 gland presence and that less than 10% of his secondary fibers are medullated.
100 secondary fibers average 13.3 microns while 50 primary fibers average 20.7 microns for a variation of 7.4 microns.
