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 5% in the 2024 EPDS: 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.

Double Portion will start breeding this summer! From Norm Evans: His uniformity scan shows fiber clusters very uniform in placement within his connective tissue yet sometimes irregular in size and shape. His density measures 75.5 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio based on 25 typical fiber clusters is 11.1 to 1. Note the small boxes that I show on his S/P scan the presence of derived or maturing 2ndary fibers that are still erupting. He grades 3 of 4 gland presence and with 90% of his 2ndary fibers showing a level of medullation, I would anticipate he may do well in the show ring. 100 typical 2ndary fibers average 19.8 microns while 50 typical primary fibers average only 25.7 microns. This figures and average micron spread of only 5.9 microns and an AFD of only 20.31 microns. Based on his fiber stats this male is set for a great future as a sire We believe our success is in the success of our clients!!!
