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 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), Rico's micron is 16.6, SD 3.3, CV 19.9, %>30 .05%...WOW! In 2008 we did a skin biopsy on Rico and the results are fantastic, "I found no fibers above 30 microns, which is unheard of, " states Dr. Norm Evans, "This male is the whole package based on my stats. He appears to have every desirable genetic trait that this industry is looking for. As the whole package, Rico Suave tests in the top 1% of near 1800 huacayas that I have tested." This is outstanding! With his pedigree consisting of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite and Peruvian Hemingway, you cannot go wrong with a breeding to Rico Suave. RICO HAS 102 REGISTERED OFFSPRING. Contact Tim at 503-778-0246 for more information. Co-owned with Richard & Lisa Cruanas of LaFinca Alpacas, and Diana Garrett & Karl Clark of Moody Hills Farm.

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.
