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.

We are so excited about this female. Take a look at her fabulous genetics and you will understand why: Torbio, Viho, Snowmass Ice Dancer, Pucara's Kahuna and LCA Accoyo Dinero, just to mention a few. Ruby's Slippers is truly magical. She is in the top 2% in the 2022 EPDs. She has gorgeous, very fine fleece structured in overlapping layers. In addition to her fine, dense fleece and perfect conformation, Ruby has an incredibly gentle personality--a true farm favorite. Ruby's Slippers was biopsied as a 31 month old female in 2021. Her density measures 66.7 follicles SQMM and her S/P ratio is 12.4 to 1. She has level 3 of 4 gland presence and virtually none of her secondary fibers show medullation. Her secondary fibers average 15.4 microns and her primary fibers average 20.5 microns for an S/P variation of only 5.1 microns! Her biopsy AFD is 15.81 microns at 3 years of age. Dr. Norm Evans' biopsy comment was simply stated: WOW!! Suri, Simply Stunning at its best. Ruby’s Slippers birthed her first cria, Jewel, in June 2022; a stunning white female sired by HFS Jeremiah. She is an excellent mom with lots of love and milk for her baby! Her second cria born in September 2023 is a gorgeous white female sired by Big Timber Locke’s Kristoff. We named this cutie, Pearl, for her luminous fleece.
