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.
