Josef is producing 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! Josef has outstanding rankings of Top 1-5% in the 2022 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.

We selected Sweet 16 as a foundation female to add to our herd specifically for her outstanding lingering fineness and uniformity. Her dam, Supersuris Blondie has retained her fineness in the low 20s even as a 16 year old and Sweet 16 is following in her dam's footsteps. Sweet 16's SHIP classification scores are outstanding with perfect 5 scores for fleece fineness and uniformity of color and micron and a 4.5 score for luster. The 2019 EPD trait data puts her in the Top 1% in 5 of 7 traits for all suri females: AFD Top 1% SD Top 1% SF Top 1% %>30. Top 1% %M Top 1% This girl has it all, fabulous fleece and great conformation with great genetic bloodlines to make any suri breeder happy. She is a great mother providing lots of milk and TLC to her crias. Her first cria, Sweet 16's Romeo, won first place at the Northwest Alpaca Show in 2013 and won second place in halter and fleece at the 2013 AOBA National show. Romeo's fiber density is 75.5 follicles SQ MM of skin which is extremely dense. Secondary fibers measured 17.5 microns with a variation between primaries of 9.9. only 25% secondary fibers are medullated. He has 4 of 4 gland presence. Very few males have these kinds of numbers for density. Dr. Norm Evans stated, "THIS MALE IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE TO PASS ON SUPERIOR GENETIC TRAITS!". Sweet 16 had a Kahuna Bahati daughter, Big Timber's Malika, in October 2014. This female is gorgeous and combines the great Kahuna genetics with the superfine Blondie bloodlines. Her fleece is super fine royal alpaca with the brightest luster and high level of density in her lock structure. Malika's 2017 density measured 69.50, one of the best for all suri females. She is producing champion offspring. Sweet 16 had aother gorgeous white female out of Kahuna's Josef in August 2017 named Sweet Mimosa. This little one is full of lusterous, curly fleece from head to toe. This genetic combo knocked it out of the park. We bred Jeremiah and Sweet 16 in 2017 and had a stunning male cria in August 2018, Jeremiah's Jacob. This boy is drop dead gorgous and has the fiber stats to prove it. In 2019 we repeated the breeding of Sweetie and Jeremiah for a 2020 cria. She gave birth to a strong, beautiful male cria on July 5, 2020. Take a look at all of Sweet 16's offspring.. She clearly is passing on all her positive traits to produce top seed stock Suris.
