    ARI# 20000394 | DOB: 6/18/2005
    Banderas is now deceased. His info is here for reference.

    Banderas is an EPD Top 1%er! His stats are excellent overall, but his EPD in staple length soars. Did you read Ian Watt's article in Alpacas Magazine? YES, length matters! To that end, we are still using this oldie but goodie to cover our females with shorter staple length. His latest cria was born in July 2021.

    BANDERAS IS A MULTI-CHAMPION THROWING ULTRA FINE CHAMPION OFFSPRING IN A VARIETY OF COLORS. And now we are seeing grand-o...

    Dam:
    Sweet Pines Ciera  
    | AOA# 30457188  | Medium Fawn  |
    Ciera is being sold as a retired mama. She has produced many spectacular offspring and make a lovely pasture pet.

    Ciera: LASTING FINENESS, FANTASTIC BLOODLINES, confident easy-going personality, TERRIFIC HEAD, & RICH fawn COLOR. Ciera would make an excellent foundation female. Ciera's mother, Tasha Yar, is the granddam of our herd, and producer of many award-winners. Ciera's very studly charcoal grey sire, ElDorado, gives Ciera a high potential to throw grey and black. And with grandsires 4Peruvian LEGACY and Peruvian EL MOUSTACHIO, it's no wonder she really is a gorgeous girl, throwing beautiful offspring.

    Ciera's first son, Sweet Pines Avallon is maintaining his fineness. A dark fawn boy out of Onyx's Navigator, he is soft and crimpy, not to mention his straight and square conformation. He also brought home a 3rd place ribbon at Showcase in '09.

    Her second cria is equally as impressive. We love Tigra's crimp, fineness, staple length, and handle, and are ecstatic over her color - a very dark (base color bay black) espresso grey! Plus her look is incredible. Tigra is now producing her own beautiful offspring with great success.

    Ciera's 2010 daughter, Lotus, is a beautiful, extremely fine (16 microns), dense and crimpy fawn out of Spanish Peaks Banderas. She has Ciera's adorable typey head and friendly, confident personality. Lotus produced a beige daughter in 2015 who won 3rd at Alpacapalooza in halter.

    Ciera's 2011 son, Banderas' Dasher, is a COLOR CHAMPION for his ultrafine, extremely uniform, amazingly bright, and silky fleece.

    Ciera has such great potential and proof for phenomenal offspring. She is also extremely sweet and easy to handle. She will do exactly what her dam has done for us - consistently produce award-winning, healthy offspring - only with some very fun colors.

    Bidding Info

    Description

    Healey's last two crias came from herdsire Crescent Moon's Daytona. Their first cria, Midas, is an extremely handsome high quality true black, and is now a junior herdsire at Shadow Ranch Alpacas. Their second cria is a beautiful deep brown, very friendly daughter. Healey is a wonderful mother with ample milk.

    Take a look at Healey's fleece pic and you can see the glow. The yarn we had made from her fleece is heavenly. It has such a silky feel and beautiful appeal. This is partly due also to her extreme fineness. Given Healey's genetics, she is likely to keep this fineness throughout her life and pass it on to all her offspring. On top of that, she has sound, well balanced conformation with correct proportions and bite.

    Healey's full siblings will give you an idea of the quality and exciting color this girl has the potential to produce. Her brother, Dasher, is a color champion for his brown fleece with 15/15 for brightness. Her sister, Tigra, is dark rose grey and holding her fineness in the low 20s. And finally Lotus, also a top award winner for her fleece, is holding her fineness into adulthood as well. They all exhibit their sire's trait of exceptional fleece length, which has put him in the top 1% in EPDs.

    Healey's sire, Spanish Peaks Banderas, was a multi-champion modern dark rose grey and has produced several champions in a variety of colors. Most notably, his son, Sweet Pines Torino, won 5 championships including brown color champion for his fleece at the AOBA national show.

    Healey can be bred to one our herdsires at half his usual stud fee.
