Autumn Sun Alpacas

Sire: Mile High Bandimere 

Mile High Bandimere

Breed Up? Bandmere prooved it AGAIN!

ARI# 1280838 D.O.B. 6/15/2006 Huacaya, Male, Proven White, Beige

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 ...

Dam: AutumnSun's Sweet Patriotic Song 

| ARI# 31422710  | White 

This girl is a lovely image of her sister, mom and dad. She has the same lustrous and soft fiber, great density and staple length, and shiny white glow to her fleece. Her crimp is as good or better than her sisters, pictured below. You love the feel of it in your hand.

True to Tira's offspring, she grew at an amazing pace, surpassing older crias -- as did Kimi-Sue, her older sister. She was born at ~22 lbs and 90 lbs at 9 months old. Her frame remains strong and straight. Her bite is good and her alignment correct. Her conformation shows no faults and her health has been robust. We would expect no less than these qualities from her dam and sire.

She has a sweet personality, a "must-have" in a good show and foundation girl! She 'hand leads' and is easily caught for any treatment, training, or the requisite fiber touching. She is calm and friendly like her dam and sire. We love this trait in our alpacas.

We matched her fantastic fiber characteristics with the color, density, and crimp of ribbon winning dark brown herdsire, QP's "Who's Your Daddy" for a cria with color & fiber quality and a loaded pedigree of bloodlines: Hemingway, Caligula, Monzon, Yupanqui, and Felix. Just was we hoped, she produced a true black little girl (AutumnSun's Sylvan Pixie) that is cute as a button.

Now that we knew she can throw color, we chose to pair her with beige Bandimere at Mile High Alpacas, but got color again! This fawn boy, born the day after the Fourth, is in one word: spectacular! We were not disappointed. We sit on our hands around him, to keep from touching his super dense, nubby fiber all the time! With a headstyle like his even as a cria, we could not help but call him Supermassive. This male represented us well, gathering his sharing of blue and purple ribbons and banners.

Then we bred Song to the fantastic Crescent Moon's Elizario (white) for our spectacular Melody, a girl of lots of density! Melody has been herself bred to 29x champion Motiva

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'.
