BIG TIMBER ALPACAS

Description

We are thrilled to add Bid's Chancellor (Chance) to our herd sire row. Thank you, Halo Ranch for partnering with us in this spectacular male. Chance is sired by multi-champion Spectacular Bid (now deceased) and champion dam, GLR Charlie. His genetics are a "who's who" in the Suri world including, Electrofyre, WLK Spectacular, Goldstar, GLR Tanah and Cinders.

Chance's sire, Spectacular Bid had an excellent skin biopsy from Dr. Norm Evans: Spectacular Bid was biopsied as a 26-month-old white suri male with ARI#35041559. His 15x scan shows fiber clusters very uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. His density is 57.25 follicles SQ MM of skin that measured 2.84 MM and 25 fiber clusters show an average S/P of 11.3 to 1. He shows level 3 of 4 gland presence and less than 20% of his secondary fibers show medullation. 100 secondary fibers average 17.4 microns and 50 primary fibers average 26.6 microns for a spread of 9.2 microns. Spectacular Bids AFD on July 18, 2018 figures 18.21 microns. Very, very strong fiber stats."

Chance was biopsied as a 30-month-old male by Dr. Norm Evans. His density is 57 follicles SQ MM. His average S/P is 10.1 to 1. He shows level 4 of 4 gland level and 40% of his secondary fibers show medullation. 100 secondary fibers average 20.1 microns and 50 primary fibers average 31.1 microns for a spread of S/P variation of 11 micron. Chance's AFD on February 1, 2023 figures 20.87 microns.

He was evaluated by Cheryl Gehly in the SHIP program in 2022. He received a perfect 5 of 5 score in six of the eight conformation traits. His fleece traits scored very high with a 4 for luster, 5 for fineness, 3.5 for uniformity and density, 4.5 for lock structure and all 5s for handle, color uniformity and fleece phenotype. Overall excellent ratings in both conformation and fleece traits.

Chance is a champion in his own right, winning Reserve Champion as a young juvenile. Chance exhibits extreme luster and excellent lock structure on a conformationally strong frame. He is super fine, with his first fleece at 16.4 micron and has stunning uniformity throughout his fleece with fine primary and secondary fibers.

We are looking forward to putting him to work in our herd. His first offspring, Luna of Halo won first in a large class of juvieis at Futurity 2024!
