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.

I was looking to get back into alpacas and inquired about an average female. Beverly at Rogue Suri Alpacas basically said you don't want that one, I have a girl you will love, that was Shazaam. Without seeing her in person I took the leap and got back into alpacas. I do not regret getting this girl for one moment. Her fleece is absolutely exquisite! She glows! I always wanted an Admiral's Commander daughter and she was a perfect fit. Her fleece has earned her multiple walking fleece awards. She just needed to grow a bit for the halter competition. I am excited to breed her to Kahuna's Josef for her maiden breeding. This should just top off both parents fantastic fiber and conformation traits. This is how Rogue Suri Alpacas described Shazaam: "Proof that great crias are BORN not Made" "What can I say besides "SHAZAAM" Boy does she live up to it! A perfect pairing of parents! Admirl's Commader on one side, who has produced Champion after Champion for Randy & Barbara Coleman and FDA Picasso's Shimmer, who we purchased directly from Amanda Vandenbosch at the EDU, 2 years back! We purchased Shimmer specifically to use with Commander for this pairing and were we excited about the results! Shazaam has all the wonderful traits we saw in her mothers fleece pairing perfectly with the density and Luster that her dad is able to stamp out on his crias! Shazaam will begin her show career at AOA Nationals and will maintain a spot on our show string! If you are curious what elite white fiber looks like, she's got it!" She is 15/16 Peruvian and 1/16 Bolivian from Captain Morgan's dam. Shazaam gave birth to a beautiful white female out of Big Timber Kahuna’s Josef. I am loving everything about this little one. As a first time dam she was fantastic. Super calm with the cria and me. Plenty of colostrum & the cria is gaining great. Shazaam will be bred to Madiba for a 2020 cria.
