Kobra's Bandia
Argentine Kobra x Little Miss Mars
DOB 4-13-00 ILR 226264 ALSA 12621
  Bandia's sire is the outstanding and well known Argentine Kobra. Her dam is Little Miss Mars. Bandia is pure black and while she does not possess the characteristics of the Argentine type she passes these traits on to her cria and is a wonderful addition to Silver Knoll Llamas. It was good to have bought Bandia from LC Llamas when they were conducting their herd dispersal.
Bandia is an excellent mother with superior mothering skills an abundant milk supply and so far has produced only daughters. Although Bandia has not been shown her daughters have been and they receive ROMs, and Champion placements at shows.

 Winter 2010
Phantom's Zolena has qualified for the Grand Nationals a couple times.
Phantom's Zolena is an extra large silky, heavy wool girl with fantastic conformation in my opinion and is always there to hang out with anyone who visits. Some are just that way when they hit the ground. Personality plus!

VL Murphy Garcia
El Trofeo VL x VL Lindeza
DOB 1-26-02 ILR 226880
 Murphy Garcia is our largest silky female at Silver Knoll. She is an excellent mother and births easily, and has an abundance of milk. Murphy is mild mannered and easy to halter. We have nicknamed Murphy "our horse" due to her size. She passes her calm traits onto her crias. I enjoy watching Murphy in the pasture and taking her for walks or just general hangin' out with this girl.

Giselle LCH
LW Pink Panther x Lundy LCH
DOB 5-2-03 ILR 226420
  Giselle is a tall, medium wool female who is athletic and playful. Giselle will pick up any article she finds interesting and walk off with it (gloves, hats, jackets, keys - no particular preference for her.) She is a complete people llama. Giselle's first cria, looks very much like her, she is an easy birther, and has excellent mothering instincts.
Giselle not only took care of her own cria - she also let another cria nurse from her this past season. I have found that 3 of my females here at Silver Knoll Llamas will do that. The crias get a fantastic healthy start with two females taking care of them. Way to go Giselle!

This female is one of the great grand dams who passes her hooked ears, wonderful fiber and exceptional conformation along with her other outstanding genetic attributes to her crias. She has lots of presence and is a calm, friendly llama - she is pure bliss to be around at the ranch.
Bananna's crias have done exceptionally well in the show ring at the Grand Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska and at the Celebrity Show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and many other shows. She is a favorite here and knows it.

Just look at that face - I did and... we are happy to have purchased this young show girl at the Celebration Sale 2009, Oklahoma City, OK. Jamieson is solid true black and her fiber is exquisite. It took Jamieson no time to acclimate herself to California living.
Jamieson is a welcome foundation female at the ranch.
GNLC Shimmer
WSL INFA Red x GNLC Charada
DOB 6-20-08 ILR 275655
   Yearling pictures above
Shimmer was purchased in Spring 2009 and made the long ride home to California. Shimmer's fiber is silky with amazing luster. Her neck is one thing you notice when first looking at her -- WOW it is long! Shimmer is another people llama which is important in my breeding program. She is curious and comes right over when her name is called.
Argentine Trupa
Unknown x Unknown
DOB 1-1-93 ILR S170223
  right picture Winter 2010
Trupa is doing very well here at the ranch since arriving from Wisconsin. Although she is an older female she will be bred to Don Zunca or another full argentine male here in the hope of getting one or two more crias before her retirement. Just like her pasture mate Pistola, Trupa has adjusted to California living.
Argentine Pistola
Argentine Yecu x Argentine Lefu
DOB 9-27-98 ILR 203996
 Pistola is doing well since arriving from Wisconsin in July 2009. She has the company of her male cria - Tanis and also a pasture mate 'Trupa'. Pistola is a great mother with lots of milk and mothering instincts.

DOB November 25, 2009 ILR Pending
New pictures coming soon...
 Alexandra was solid black for the first two months & turned into a milk chocolate brown color except for a bit of white around her nose/mouth. Silky fiber, long legs with lots of stretch. I love this young female - she is so sweet. Can not hardly see her eyes still at 9 months old due to head fiber - no problem there & she is sporting a 5 inch or so white beard. Tommy passed on those stunning argentine traits once again.
