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.

Spectacular Stella’s name says it all. Her sire needs no introduction as Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar and her dam, WLK Spectacular is a 9X Champion. Both sides of her pedigree have produced multiple champions. Top shelf genetics from Goldstar, Peruvian Rockstar, Torbio, Jackpot, WLK Spectacular, Double Dutch's American Spirit, Accoyo Crown Royale, Apache and Macgyver. This along with her Top 2-5% EPD fleece traits, ultra lingering fineness and gorgeous Suri phenotype makes her one of the top of the class in our breeding program. Stella has produced multiple champion offspring from different service sires which demonstrates her prepotency as a top stud female. Her offspring, 7X Champion, Astrofyre and 3X Champion Ellamiah (sired by our HFS Jeremiah), have outstanding fleece and conformation traits including top 5% EPD traits. Stella's full brother is a 3X Champion. Dr Norm Evans performed a skin biopsy on Stella in 2017 at almost four years of age: "Her 15x scan shows fiber clusters very uniform in placement within her connective tissue but not as uniform in size and shape in her clusters. Her density is 55 follicles in SQ MM of skin and 25 typical fiber clusters show an average S/P of 9.7 to 1. She shows level 2 or 4 gland presence and only 30% of her secondary fibers show a level of medullation. Stella's AFD on July 17, 2017 figures 20.78 microns. Her strong points are her above average density, good S/P ratio, unique percentage of 2ndary medullated fibers, fineness of 2ndary fibers and low AFD." In 2020, Stella bred to WLK Ryker, a champion male sired by Spirit Dancer and out of 6X Champion, WI Special Edition (full sister to Limited Edition). In 2021, Stella had a gorgeous fawn female on June 12, 2021. Jedidiah is extremely fine and uniform with a loving personality! We bred Stella to Jeremiah in 2021 for a repeat of 3X champion Ellamiah. Stella gave birth to a beautiful girl in July 2022, named Spectacular Ella. This little girl is covered with wrinkled skin all over her neck and body with a gorgeous bright while fleece. She won multiple championships and was sold as a juvenile to a top breeder outside the US. We will truly miss Ella but hope to make a full sister with the next breeding to HFS Jeremiah.
