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.

Mile High Victoria’s Secret says “Move over runway girls”. Rich mahogany color, outstanding conformation, fine, dense fleece and a beautiful uniform crimp from tip to skin are just a few traits that have allowed Victoria’s Secret to experience the show ring success that her dam,Mile High Peruvian Hannah Bay, a 3-time color champion and her sire, the renowned El Nino’s Golden Legend, had set for their progeny to follow. El Nino’s Golden Legend is perhaps one of the most striking males that any breeder will encounter. Victoria’s Secret has certainly inherited and displays his phenotype and genetic traits. We are very excited to have added Mile High Peruvian Victoria’s Secret, as a future part of our breeding program. This beautiful female has introduced us to the show ring competition with memories that we will never forget. Watch as this beautiful female finishes her 2010 show career at GWAS 2010, before she is bred in June 2010 to Mile High Bandimere. This combination of genetics has us sleepless at night as we envision the cria that will be delivered in 2011. Mile High Victoria's Secret makes her home at the beautiful Sand Creek Criations Spa and Resort. Give them a call and schedule a visit to put your eyes and hands on this magnificent girl.

Description Top 15% Densest Grey Alpaca tested, Per Ian Watt "Harmony is a son of Aussie .38 Special, who really needs no introduction to anyone with even a passing interest in gray alpacas. He is a 15x Champion, 2x Judge's Choice, Herdsire of the Year; at the age of eight, he won the “Spirit of the Industry” recognizing the lasting quality of his fleece. Far more importantly, he imparts his bone, conformation, and elite fleece traits of extreme fineness, uniformity, density, high-frequency/high-amp crimp, and staple length to his offspring. This is especially incredible given that all of these awesome traits very rarely all go together, and .38 gives them to his get with amazing reliability. Harmony is not merely “any” .38 son, however. He is out of a daughter of Rincon Cloud, one of the other most pre-potent gray herdsires in North America. Rincon's Magnolia is one of Rincon Cloud's absolute best, a stunning, full Chilean solid silver tuxedo gray out of a truly true black dam. She has had two previous daughters, both of whom inherited impeccable conformation, perfect type, and beautiful fleece. Harmony inherited the bone of his sire along with the compact size of his dam sire, resulting in a perfectly proportioned, perfectly sized animal. His conformation is positively faultless. He inherited the awesome full fiber coverage of both parents, and a head that is the most ideal I have seen on a .38 offspring. Then, there is the not small matter of his fleece. Harmony's fleece completely redefined how I think of gray alpaca fleece. It is not just great. It is elite, and I reserve that word for only the most indisputably awesome alpaca fleeces. I am a fineness fanatic, and this fleece is fine, and fantastically uniform. These traits combine with an excellent brightness to produce a wonderfully soft hand, but it doesn't stop there. My photographs of this fleece do it no justice, because his crimp is so tight – that extreme combination of high-frequency and high-amplitude that feels springy when pulled. Incredibly, his staple is excellent, and I say “incredibly” because it is extremely rare for a fine, high-frequency fleece to have such an amazing staple. Add a terrific density that can be appreciated even on the animal, and this is one seriously elite fleece. His biopsy results confirm that he is, also, one of the densest grey alpacas yet tested ...
