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 of the 2023 EPDS: AFD: top 5% SF: top 5% 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.

AOA# 35392941DOB: 8/19/20177 yrs

Kahuna's Josef and Sweet 16 produced a stunning female, Sweet Mimosa. We love the results of this genetic pairing. Her sire, Josef is an 12X Champion with top 1% EPDs. Mimosa's dam, Sweet 16 has incredible retained fineness and uniformity also expressing in top 1% EPDs as a mature prepotent stud female. Mimosa's fiber is very fine and soft. Both her sire, Josef, and dam, Sweet 16, have extreme retained fineness that is passed through to Mimosa. These quality genetics have also passed through a beautiful high level of luster to Mimosa as well. Mimosa's half-sister, Malika, through her dam, Sweet 16, share the same Kahuna genetics. Malika has incredible density at 69 follicles and royal baby fineness at 20 micron as a three year old. We sold Malika in 2021 to a top US Suri breeder. Mimosa is ranked highly in the 2022 EPDs which demonstrates her prepotence as a high-quality stud female: SD: Top 5% Fibers<30: Top 5% Sweet Mimosa was biopsied as a 43-month-old in 2021. Her density measures 44 follicles SQMM with an average S/P ratio of 11.2 to 1. Her secondary fibers averaged 20.4 microns while her primary fibers averaged 28.1 microns for an average S/P spread of only 7.7 microns. Her AFD is 21.08 microns. Although, her density is average, Mimosa exhibits extremely fine and uniform fleece with beautiful lock structure. Mimosa is the complete package, outstanding fleece and conformation traits. She is also an excellent mother with easy birthing, lots of milk and love for her cria. She gave birth in August 2020 to a gorgeous female sired by HFS Jeremiah. This stunning girl, Sweet Teah, is our first cross between Josef and Jeremiah and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. She is a 4X Champion who sold at the Futurity auction to Sapaveco Farm. After repeating this breeding, Mimosa had a stunning, white male in August 2021. This male, Jesse, is a strong framed, beautifully fleeced 2X Champion herdsire. In August 2022, Mimosa had another gorgeous white male, Riproar, who is a 3X Judges Choice and an 11X champion! In June 2024, Mimosa had another stunning female sired by Jeremiah. A strong 22 lb white female, who will no doubt follow in her sibling's championship footsteps!
