Big Timber is honored to co-own HFS Jeremiah with Tim and Beth Sheets of Heritage Farm Suri Alpacas. Our first five offspring from Jeremiah were born in August 2018: three gorgeous males and two stunning females out of our stud females, Malika,Tahiti White Pearl, Kerolyn, Sweet 16 and Aphrodite. His 2018 offspring won Jeremiah his first Get of Sire awards in major competitions. Jeremiah is a 7X Champion and a 2X Judges Choice winner. Although his conformation is perfect, Jeremiah's fiber is his greatest asset. His highly aligned and organized wave and twist locks equate to density, fineness and luster. His follicles are tightly packed clusters that "shingle" over each other. Jeremiah has top suri male genetics including Rockstar, Torbio, Baron Lafite and Ramilo. His maternal genetics are just as awesome with Accoyo Lafite's Mucha Bella as his dam, an award winning, top ranked EPD female that has produced champion offspring, along with Accoyo Luna, who produced multiple champion offspring. Jeremiah ranked in the top 5% in the 2024 EPDS: His 2014 skin biopsy showed a density of 52.25 and a secondary to primary ratio of 8:1. His primary to secondary spread was 7 with a secondary micron of 15.9 and a primary micron of 22.9. He has 3 out of 4 gland presence and his secondary medullation was under 30%. Dr. Norm Evans commented: "The variation in fiber diameter of primary to secondary fibers is only 7 microns which is exceptional. This male should exhibit superior handle since he is not only very fine but unique in that <30% of his secondary fibers show medullation. He certainly exhibits exceptional fleece traits that should be passed on to his offspring." In the SHIPS classification, Jeremiah scored perfect 5's for all the conformation categories. In fleece characteristics, he scored a perfect 5 for uniformity of color and fleece phenotype. He scored 4.5s for luster and uniform lock and 4's for fineness and handle. He also scored 3s for uniformity of micron and density. Jeremiah won the Futurity 2024 Herdsire of the Year Award for the Small Farm Division. An honor well deserved based on his mutliple champion offspring! Overall, Jeremiah's quantitative data supports his superior suri genetics and prepotence. His multiple champion offspring prove his worth.

We are so excited about this female. Take a look at her fabulous genetics and you will understand why: Torbio, Viho, Snowmass Ice Dancer, Pucara's Kahuna and LCA Accoyo Dinero, just to mention a few. Ruby's Slippers is truly magical. She is in the top 2% in the 2024 EPDs. She has gorgeous, very fine fleece structured in overlapping layers. In addition to her fine, dense fleece and perfect conformation, Ruby has an incredibly gentle personality--a true farm favorite. Ruby's Slippers was biopsied as a 31 month old female in 2021. Her density measures 66.7 follicles SQMM and her S/P ratio is 12.4 to 1. She has level 3 of 4 gland presence and virtually none of her secondary fibers show medullation. Her secondary fibers average 15.4 microns and her primary fibers average 20.5 microns for an S/P variation of only 5.1 microns! Her biopsy AFD is 15.81 microns at 3 years of age. Dr. Norm Evans' biopsy comment was simply stated: WOW!! Suri, Simply Stunning at its best. Ruby’s Slippers birthed her first cria, Jewel, in June 2022; a stunning white female sired by HFS Jeremiah. She is an excellent mom with lots of love and milk for her baby! Her second cria born in September 2023 is a gorgeous white female sired by Big Timber Locke’s Kristoff. We named this cutie, Pearl, for her luminous fleece. Her third cria born in September 2025 is a stunning, big boned white male sired by Josef. He is going to be a superstar! Ruby is a proven top stud female!!

Josef produces Champions! His offspring are stunning with super fine micron, high gloss luster and beautifully dense lock structure. He is the ultimate prepotent stud that passes his superior traits to his offspring. Josef won his first Get of Sire class in 2018 as a five-year-old stud. Josef is the son of multi-champion Pucara's Kahuna and Big Timber's award-winning dam, KBTA's Kerolyn. His genetics are packed with the best suri bloodlines...Kahuna, Armani, Miquel, Uribe. Josef's offspring have proven his ability to pass through these awesome genetics. Josef's fine fleece is dense with incredible staple length. His first fleece AFD was a superfine 17.1 micron with an SD of 3.3 and is ranked in the top EPDS in the country. His second-year fleece was a close 19 micron with a continued SD of 3.3. As noted in his biopsy report below, at 45 months, his AFD is a very fine 21 micron. One of Josef's fleece strengths is his staple length. At over 4 years, his staple length is over 6.5 inches annual growth. His staple length along with his above average density contributes to his superior annual fleece weight of over 11 lbs., putting him in the top 1% for FW in the most recent EPDs. In 2018, Josef won Reserve Invited Champion as a 4.5-year-old competing against much younger animals. In 2017, Josef, as a 3.5-year-old male, was awarded Invited Color Champion and First Place at the 2017 AOA National Halter Show for white Suri male and Color Champion and First Place at the competitive 2017 CABA Classic Show. In 2016 as a mature male, he was awarded Color Champion and First Place at the 2016 Futurity Halter Show and First Place at the 2016 AOA Nationals Show. He also won First Place and Color Champion at the 2016 CABA show in both the halter and fleece shows. Josef was evaluated in 2017 in the SHIP (Suri Herd Improvement Program) by Cheryl Gehly. He received a perfect 5 score in all conformation categories. For fleece characteristics, he scored perfect 5's for lock structure, uniformity of color and fleece phenotype. He scored 4.5's for density and handle. He scored 4's in the areas of luster (luster score of 18), fineness (20 micron) and uniformity of micron. Josef is truly the whole package! At 11 years old, Josef has outstanding rankings of Top 5% in the 2024 EPDs that confirm his genetic prepotence. Dr. Norm Evans conducted a skin biopsy analysis in 2017 on Josef at 45 months old. His true density is 53.5 follicles SQ MM of skin and 25 typical fiber clusters show an average S/P of 9.8 to 1. Tested 100 secondary fibers average of 20.1 microns while 50 primary fibers average 29.4 microns for a variation of 9.3 microns. Josef’s AFD on July 8, 2017, at 45 months of age figures 21.03 microns. Excellent results for a mature male.
