Stage Stop Tempis Fugit On Sunday, September 23rd at the Rocky Mountain Regional Llama Show, our male llama Tempis Fugit won the Grand Champion Medium Wool Male award! This is his 3rd Grand Champion award, added to 6 Reserve Grand Champion awards. He has now earned the prestigious ALSA Halter Champion award! Tempis has now been retired from the halter showring and will be standing at stud at Split Rock Ranch and Stage Stop Llamas.
We bought Tempis Fugit from Jeff and Sally Rucker at Stage Stop Llamas when he was a cria. We fell in love with his beautiful silver color, his amazing style and extraordinary presence. We showed him once as a juvenile but he didn't show well so we put him in the pasture and let him do some growing. Two and a half years ago, I was doing ranch chores and started watching Tempis in the field and quickly realized that this young man had grown up into a stunning two year old. I had Jim come out to help evaluate Tempis and we decided to start showing him again. Our first show was Estes Park Wool Market in 2005 where Tempis placed 1st and 2nd and Reserve Grand with BOTH judges! He earned his ALSA ROM within one year and now two years and three months after his first show, he has earned his ALSA Halter Champion. Last year Jeff and Sally were so impressed with Tempis and his offspring, they bought back a half-interest in him. So Tempis will be available for stud services at both Split Rock Ranch AND Stage Stop Llamas. Contact us for additional information and pricing on stud services.

What a gorgeous boy! He looks proud of himself. Isn't it funny how sometimes they just need to grow into themselves? Congrats!!!
Yes, Tempis took awhile to grow into himself but once he did he is really something! And, he does know it! He has so much style and presence - he is a joy to watch.
