186994<--ari-->White<--color-->TORBIO is an original in every sense of the word. He was one of the original Accoyo Suri herdsires hand-picked by Don Julio Barreda and introduced to the U.S. by Nola Graham. He is the "REAL THING"! Torbio has tremendous presence. He is very proud of himself, and although he is smallish in stature, he commands the respect of all the other males in the pasture. He is also one of the last males to survive from that importation. He is one of only 2 Older Gentlemen still alive. Even at his advanced age, Torbio has a bright glint in his eye, and a spring in his step. We asked him what age he wanted to live to. Without hesitation, he shot back, "25". We asked him why 25. He chuckled and watched a butterfly go by... "Well, because very few alpacas die after 25!" He has such a sense of humor for an old guy! He is best known for his ability to pass his outstanding traits to his progeny. Even today, Torbio's fleece has blinding luster and that greasy feel that we all strive for. He has reproduced himself over and over, with well over 200 offspring registered. He is still producing champions in the show ring, and can be counted on to throw his luster, lock and density with great regularity. <--description-->

186994<--ari-->White<--color-->In 1995 Mike Safley was involved with the individual selections in Peru and we added a large number of qualitative traits to the inventory including histogram information and subjective comments on individual characteristics. These traits were noted by plus and minus signs. The more pluses the better. Other traits were noted in jargon such as “snipey” (thin face), heavy bone, pink eye (pigmentation), etc. The rating system used in 1995 was based on ten points: ten being the best. The names used were the official ARI names. All of the 1995 imports were PPPeruvian indicating that they were from the third Peruvian, or PPP, import.
