BIG TIMBER ALPACAS

Description

This lovely female is a best kept secret. Blue's Rumor comes from top black genetics on her sire side-Bluegrass Peruvian Rhythm & Blues and top genetics on her dam side- USA Accoyo Ruby. These genetics combined to create a beautiful female with top SHIP scores and top density stats!!

Rumor was SHIP evaluated by senior judge Cheryl Gehly and received scores of 5 of 5 in color uniformity (rare for a fawn); and scores of 4 out of 5 in luster, fineness, uniformity of micron, uniformity of lock structure, hand and type; and a score of 3.5 out of 5 for density. She received the top scores of 5 in all the conformation traits. Outstanding SHIP scores in all the measured traits!

Rumor was biopsied in 2021 as a 4 year old. Her density measures 58.5 follicles SQMM and her S/P ratio is 9.7 to 1. Her secondary fibers averaged 17.4 microns while her primary fibers averaged 22.3 microns for an average S/P variation of only 4.9 microns. Her biopsy AFD is 17.89 microns. Dr. Norm Evans comment on her biopsy was simply: "WOW"!!

Rumor is stunningly fine, dense and uniform. She is retaining her fineness and uniformity as she ages. Definitely Suri, Simply Stunning!

Rumor gave birth to her first offspring, Twist and Shout, a beautiful female loaded with gorgeous bay black fleece, in June 2020. This girl was sired by multi-champion Sir Oliver Twist, and she is everything we hoped for!

Rumor's Zoltar cria, Rhiannon, was born on July 10, 2022. She is a lovely dark brown female with a very fine and uniform fleece at 17.7 micron and 4.1 SD.

Rumor’s 2023 cria sired by Iced Kola, Big Timber's Storm is a stunning bay black male with a gorgeous fleece. Storm has a very fine juvie fleece at 16 microns with an advanced Suri lock structure. His fleece won awards at major fleece shows, including Best Lock.

We chose to breed Rumor to Big Timber's Quebracho for a 2024 cria. In August 2024, she had a stunning dark fawn female with out of this world luster!
