Email us about this animal

Rico's fleece has beautiful and very consistent crimp everywhere you look, from his top knot to his tail. He's extremely fine and super dense, with a really nice staple length, as well as great fleece coverage and very little guard hair. He has a great overall look to him with a solid, compact frame and a perfect bite. And on top of all that he's a sweet boy with an even temperament. Rico's sire is a multiple champion white male, Travesura's Altiplano Treasure. His dam, Eros' Moonshadow, is a beautiful light fawn who has produced ribbon winners every time, including blues and a color champion. This is a male that we've admired since he was a cria and he wasn't for sale. He has the qualities of fleece, conformation and pedigree that we are very excited to add to our herd. So when he became available for sale as a yearling, we partnered with Que Sera Alpacas and jumped at the chance. Rico started breeding at barely 23 months old, and got his first 3 females spitting after one try. Five introductory breedings to Rico are available at only $500. each. Give us a call to reserve yours now, as we will be raising his price once they're sold.

SIRE Travesura's Altiplano Treasure

Color: White   ARI# 1231113    CLAA#

Treasure is an exceptional male and a handsome stud. Compact body style, heavy boned, with the stylish head the judges are looking for. Add to that his correct bite on top of his amazing fleece and you've got one great package. He has won 2 Reserve Color Championships in halter, and a Color Championship for his fleece. Treasure's background is packed with wonderful genetics. His sire is 4Peruvian Altiplano Gold (deceased), a herdsire who put amazing cria on the ground. His dam is Xanadu P. Travesura, a Presidio daughter, Bueno and Caligula granddaughter. Treasure lives up to all the great bloodlines in his background. He has wonderful conformation, and the most gorgeous fleece you can imagine! Bundled into tight staples, extravagant crimp, dense with lovely brightness. (Did we mention he has TWO Best Brightness Awards?!) Treasure's offspring are now on the ground and are consistently imprinted with Treasure's qualities. Ranging in color from brown through fawn to snowy bright white, these cria are exceptional like their sire.
