Description ~

BF Riccardo is a very stylish, proud, light to medium fawn male that has been breeding since he was two years old. Several of his offspring have won color championships, and he has thrown a range of colors.

His sire is the famous MSA Accoyo Santino, and his dam is Snowmass Andean Amber, who is the only daughter of the renowned Andean Gold, owned by Snowmass Alpacas until his untimely death.

Riccardo's fleece has lots of luscious crimp with gorgeous lock structure. He has a very soft handling fleece and this is confirmed with his impressive histograms, they reveal a very fine and uniform fleece. He is also very dense with excellent coverage. His perfect conformation and awesome presence make him standout as a wonderful herdsire.

We're impressed... our Riccardo crias are arriving and they are absolutely stunning! So far, Spring 2010, Riccardo has had 1 male and 3 females. He's throwing gorgeous fleeces, perfect conformation and bite, and lots of color. Be sure to look for his crias this fall in the show ring! :)

Riccardo is now proudly co-owned with Benvenuti Farm and he is currently standing stud at Walnut Creek!
