RESERVE Champion 2010 Maturity! AGE 10!
Just got back Ricos 10year old histogram
16.6 AFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder Mike Safely couldnt say enough about Ricos fineness at the Maturity
Did you know, Rico has sired a BLACK female and male!
Holey Moley, Rico's 8 yr fleece just won CABA Judges Choice! 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.

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 amazin
Dam: Peruvian Selena ARI#
30388628 Dark Fawn Selena just delivered a black and white appaloosa, with amazing fleece! WOW ...daughter not included
Her first cria, Mimosa ,has following histogram
17.41 3.69 21.19 100.0 @ 2 years old.!!!!
Bred to Accoyo Cabos last year, we were shocked at the white male, make no mistake about it, he is excepetional but he is white? His name is AROSA Nikon
Selena is an amazing fawn girl with lineage that is just as golden as her lustrous fiber color. Her sire, Marcoyo, is producing phenominal offspring including Selina's sis, Crystal, who can also be veiwed on our site. Her dam, Sonora, has produced champions herself and is a very sought after girl.
Selena is a VERY rare bloodline in the United States, But you will be hearing more and more about this bloodline in the years to come. As far as I know, Selena is one of only 2 Peruvian Marcoyo female offspring in the States. She is currently not available for sale , but you may want to look at a few other siblings on AlpacaNation. Aquila, Nanimo, Naycoyo,Robusto..........all with exceptional fleeces!
Selena is incredibly dense, with incredible sheen and great fiber high frequency crimp character. Selena turned 6 months and was eligable for a few shows late in the season. Had she been more experienced with walking on a lead, I think she would have won her classes. We also own Selena's Sister, Crystal, and it was because of Crystal's drop dead gorgeous fiber that we went out and bought Selena.

Description
Dont let this incredible deal slip through your fingers
Incredibly fine. With Zeus' genetics, we look for him to remain LINGERING fine. I just pulled some fiber yesterday, He is maintaining fineness to about 16-17AFD at 18 months old. Super uniform!!!!
Looks like my eyes are still good! 2012 histogram comes back at
16.95 afd 3.62 sd 21.38 cv 100.0
Almost a duplicate offspring from the 1st time pairing of Selena and Rico Suave.
the late, Rico Suave was the 10 year old male with several documented histograms showing 16-17 AFD as a 7 thru 11 year old breeding stud. Thats correct! 16AFD at age 10! ,, and he backed it up by winning the Judges Choice in the 2010 CABA fleece show and Reserve Color Champion in the halter classes at the 2010 Maturity under Mike Safley, as a 10 year old!!!!!!!. Sadly, we announce that Rico has passed, his genetics will sorely be missed by the fineness community of alpaca breedes.
Zeus is going to ROCK it in the show ring. .......Ha! that was a good prediction back when he was 3 months old! ......he just won Reserve Color Champion at the National Champions Show, AND also won Color Reserve Champion in the Fleece show including all females.
Judge, Mary Reed Loved his VERY uniform fleece with no obvious primarys as a YEARLING. Anthony Stachowski estimated his micron at 15! and was impressed with his uniformity. Although the histogram shows higher AFD, I believe that this years fleece did come in much finer, and I would agree he is carrying a 15-16 micron fleece.
AROSA = Full Histogram Disclosure....shop and compare!!
2011 histogram at age 9 months came back at 19.55afd 4.81sd 24.59cv 97.92 cf ... however, we believe his fleece got mixed up with somebody elses because we KNEW he was much finer and as you can see from his two year histogram, we were correct!
Incredible bright crimp with tiny micro bundling accompany his fineness for a brown and the judges believe he is VERY dense, too!
Zeus has incredible coverage and a great head.
Selena is a Victor Vaccoya grandaughter and Rico Suave is the 16 AFD 10 year old herdsire with Hemingway and Accoyo Elite parents.
Brown Rico Suave son, only two in existence and we own them both.
We will want to retain a few breedings to Zeus
