RESERVE Champion 2010 Maturity! AGE 10! Just got back Ricos 10year old histogram 16.6 AFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also won Best Hand & Best Brightness! Uh...folks I repeat 8 years old. Im just amazed with this boy. Two words keep coming to my brain SUPER FREAK .......SUPER FREAK Great News! Rico is coming back to Ohio summer of 2011 Rico came to Ohio in 08 to distribute "16.5 micron @ 8yrs" lingering fineness genes. Rico's 8 year old skin biopsy, performed by Norm Evans, revealed 69 follicles/sq.mm and a 16.5 average micron. see more here: https://alpacastreet.oursafeserver.com/ alpacas/view.html?lpaca_id=767 Age 7 ---- Rico's histogram-- AFD 17.1, SD 3.3, CV 19.3, <30 0.4%. This is no one hit wonder, folks, His last 3 years #s are very consistent! ****UPDATE....Rico's 2008 histogram (8 year old) 17.1, SD 3.5, CV 20.5, %>30 0.5. The AlpacaRosa refers to this as "LINGERING FINENESS" in a breeding male! We are bound and determined to make this a household name! I know what you all are thinking.....!!! Can this be ? 17 micron at 8 years with THAT kind of Brightness & crimp staying power?? Is this picture really his 7 year old fleece? WELL? Over the last 2 yrs, Rico convinced several OHIO breeders, Mike Safley, and CABA fleece judges that YES! He is STILL THAT fine! Folks! THIS is why we bring Rico back to The AlpacaRosa every year!. My freinds in Oregon can see how passionate we are about bringing 'Lingering fineness" to the forefront and spreading his amazing genetics. If you have been going to shows, you HAVE to know Fineness RULEs, and evidenced by 5 year old champions at recent Nationals and Futurity, the breeders in-the-know realize Lingering Fineness rules!!!!

This past year, Moraines crias, Balbina and Sasha, Chiquita posted the following microns 15 AFD age 2 for Balbina, 18 microns at age 4 with 3 micron avg difference between Primarys and secondays(Sasha), and her 12 month old daughter (Chiquita) came in at 13 AFD......this was recorded at 12 months old NOT 1 day old! Nice opportunity to purchase one of our lingering Fine foundation females with awesome bloodlines at a low point in the market. Sieze the Day!...... But it wont break my heart if nobody buys. Moraine has held on to her fineness pretty well with an 8 yr old micron of 25. She is sold with a 7/8ths Accoyo fawn Cabos offspring at side. Moraine is an Accoyo Felix daughter, and Accoyo Victor grandaughter. She has given us 6 girls and 2 boys! Most of which tend to be show winners with Low microns. is it crazy to sell her? We have never offered Moraine up for sale until Now. This year she has an Accoyo Cabos son, 7/8ths Accyo fawn . She is being sold with cria at side A proven producer of color, Moriane gives us something to look forward to each year. Moraine is a very rare 3/4 Accoyo/ with the remaining 1/4 from the Macho Accoyo Region. Some might say she is "full Accoyo" Moraine has some very impressive bloodlines. Moraine is "Felixy" FINE and "Victoriously" crimpy. WE shouldn't underestimate her Dam's contribution here: She has incredibly fine fiber as well, and Moraine's granddam, Elizabeth(on the dam's side) still maintains a 20 micron at 10 years old!!!.She is the sister to NWA, LTD Jean, dam of Barringer and the $7500 per breeding, Jericho. Moraine is very large boned with a nice straight topline. She has beautiful peach colored crimp along with good density Moraine has produced a rosegrey girl, and a Dark brown girl, when bred to a silver gray sires. She produced 3 other fawn females and a white female, all of which were 15 micron or under at age 1.
