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.

Big Timber's Malika is a beautiful white female with elite suri genetics coming from Kahuna, Accoyo Crown Royale, Uribe, Miquel and Accoyo Ice Man. Her sire, SBS Kahuna's Bahati, is a multi-champion Kahuna son. Her dam, Supersuris Sweet 16 was an exquisite female with an incredible retained fineness, AFD, of 22 micron at over 5 years of age. This genetic combination has created Malika's super fine fleece with brilliant luster and exceptional fineness and density. Malika inherited her dam's retained fineness characteristic as her second histogram is virtually identical to her first, showing an AFD of 19 micron with an SD of 4. Malika is highly ranked in the 2020 EPD categories: AFD-- Top 3% SDAFD--Top 3% SF- Top 3% %>30-- Top 3% Dr. Norm Evans conducted a biopsy on Malika in 2017. He reported: "Her density is 69.5 follicles SQMM and her S/P ratio is 10.9 to 1. She shows level 2 of 4 gland presence and 60% of her secondary fibers show a level of medullation. . Her biopsy AFD is 20.49 microns. Malika's density, S/P ratio, fineness of secondary fibers and AFD are extremely strong for mature Suri females." In 2017, Malika gave birth to her first cria, a stunning white female, Josef's Shirotae, out of our multi-champion Kahuna's Josef. Shirotae has incredible fleece stats at 16.7 micron with an SD of 2.7! Very happy with this strategic line breed. Shirotae sold at six months of age and went on to win championships. In August 2018, Malika had a gorgeous male sired by HFS Jeremiah, full of fleece and what a head! Showstopper in our 2019 showstring. We rebred Malika to our 12X Champion Josef for a 2019 cria. If you missed out on Shirotae, here comes her full sibling! Malika had a gorgeous Josef son in August 2019. I have never seen fleece like his on a cria. He is absolutely stunning. In May 2021, Malika had another stunning female cria sired by Josef.
