The bread and butter of an alpaca farm is a strong white program and to achieve that you need a white male so exceptional that he can improve on the some of the finest fleece that a huacaya can possess. Our fawn herdsire, El Nino’s Golden Legend, has gotten a lot of attention at our farm, but we knew that our light color program would not have legs unless we had a white male that was Legend’s equal. This brought about the creation of Mile High Peruvian Bandimere. This is a male that we bred and raised with the intention of him being the next premiere white herdsire for our farm. We have always had strong fawn herdsires, but often in looking to existing white males outside of our program we had trouble finding something that had all the characteristics that we wanted. So, we selected the strongest male and female breeding pair that we could think of and literally hoped for a white male. Bandimere’s sire is Brilliance of Peru (owned by Golden Spirit Alpaca Ranch). We saw this male standing in his stall at a show and were awestruck. When we got our hands on his crimpy, bright and fine fleece, awe turned to love. We wanted our own in white. We knew who daddy was going to be so all we had to do was select mom. We wanted a female with the coverage and substance of bone to add to Brilliance’s wonderful fleece. This led us to First Star Delight, a striking white that speaks for herself in her pictures. She has produced blue-ribbon winners in white and dark as proven by Peerless Bay’s Studley Do Right and Chocolate Dovey. We matched this male and female for their strengths and kept our fingers crossed. We were blessed with a white male that was a head-turner from day one. As he matured his achievements in the ring proved us right. He has won 2 color and 3 reserve-championships and 7 blue ribbons. He is the sire of the strongest whites in our show string including blue ribbon winners Mile High Lady Antebellum and Mile High Centurion. His light fawn male, Mile High Bandimere’s Murano, is leading our fawn crop in blue ribbons this year. He is also the sire of Mile High Bandimere’s Daytona, a dark brown that we cannot wait to get into the show ring with his second fleece. This little guy has got a fleece from his father that is bright and crimpy and which we have a hard time believing can be possessed by a dark animal. We gave him a bath just to check. If you want a white male that has the scope to build your white program and the foundation of your farm name; Bandimere is it. Even for breeders that have the best of white females, Bandimere’s quality is all encompassing. We bred this male to be the total package so that he would be able to improve the offspring of any female. White alpacas are a force unto themselves, and we believe this guy is one of the best out there.

Description

This male is rooted to the ground. In his maturity, you cannot see his toes in his tree trunk legs with massive coverage on heavy bones. This frame is extremely solid, well conformed, and easy moving. His crimp is still popping and consistent across his blanket. His micron is moving out as he works in our breeding program but his handle and staple are still great! All this fleece and body 'goodness' is topped with a sweet, calm, just-the-facts-m'am personality that makes him an awesome herdsire.... And, then take a look at the fiber of his offspring! This poor boy didn't get enough love, figuratively and literally, on our farm. Though very nice, we always have so many good males that we keep on our relatively small farm and with our lean towards dark coloration, he often was left off the dance cards of the ladies. We LOVED his boy Superluminal, so we repeated this breeding for another beige-white offspring but this time a GIRL!!! Imagine my excitement. Her name is Vanora and YES I am planning on breeding her to our BLACK herdsires once I get our genotype results to pick the best one. And, then, we can breed her to one of our brown, roan or fawn herdsires. The sky's the limit when you have nice white fiber and will accept any color offspring! We also have him bred to our champion Provenance, who has produced beautifully fine, richly golden fawn offspring albeit males (boo). When they were weanlings, I KNEW they would pair nicely together and desperately wanted to complete that breeding. Now that I have, we have Supermassive available for sale simply because we are moving to all dark and closed farm so he would continue to not have enough work. So, we hope you will consider what he can do for you when paired right, because at this price he is a steal of a deal!

Awards

4th - 2013 MOPACA, Medium Fawn Juvenile - Wade Gease: The judge felt the fleece had a long staple but was more open and less dense.... I can say that the more than 100% humidity increase from our dry area to this wet area definitely flopped our alpacas' fiber that show. No one that has felt Super has accused him of being less dense.
3rd - 2013 TxOLAN, Medium Fawn Juvenile - Tim Lavan: The judge said that the top three stood apart, with Super being the youngest in the class at 7 months old, and that Super should do "very well".
3rd - 2014 ABR Fall Festival, Kristin Buhrman. -- As a small show, the beige and light fawn colors were combined to the detriment of the light fawns and their often two colored fawn fibers (usually light fawns have lighter or darker primary fibers). The fawns all placed below the two beige animals, and Super was the 'fist placed light fawn'.
3rd - 2015 - Great Western Alpaca Show, Light Produce of Dam, for our Sweet Patriotic Song, standing with her half sister Melody
3rd 2015 - Great Western Alpaca Show, Light Fawn, Kristin Buhrman -- behind an Accoyo America Polaris son and an Eclipse Alyst son
2nd - 2013 GWAS (level 5), Medium Fawn Juvenile - Wade Gease: "1st and 2nd are close in comparison" "Explosive style...popping fleece" He praised Super's density, consistency of crimp structure. The judge said that when he saw Super walk in the ring he knew he was going to "compare the rest of the class to this one!"
2nd - 2013 ABR Fall Festival, Light Fawn Yearling - Julio Sumar really liked this boy! With 13 in this class, this placing was very impressive. A well-known breeder said while looking at Super that he was the "most beautiful alpaca at the show."
2nd - TxOLAN Spectacular Show, Medium Fawn Yearling, Cathy Merkley (to the class Color Champion from Rock Creek/Snowmass).
2nd - 2014 Great Western Alpaca Show, Light Fawn Yearling class (1st was the CC), Peter Kennedy
1st - 2014 National Western Alpaca Halter Show - Med/Dark Yearling, SaraJane MacClennan
Reserve Champion - 2014 Great Western Alpaca Show, Light, Peter Kennedy -- over 46 other LF/Beige males!
