And now there are two. This little GIRL also arrived several days early on Sunday morning.

Come up with a strong, masculine name for our male cria that ends in “struck”

If we pick your name suggestion, we’ll send you a prize!

First few days with our little baby… meeting the aunties, first trip to the barn, copying mama in rolling and grazing, trying out his legs for running, finding out which aunties are friendly and which are too pregnant… fresh crias on the farm are lots of fun!

If there is an open bag of fiber in the barn, I’m likely to find a cat in it. I sacrifice my bag of thirds to the cats - it protects my nicer, more usable fiber from their rummaging and allows my thirds to be put to use. We may be on to something here…. alpaca fiber pet beds??? I bet all the barn cats wish they could be so pampered 🤣

Onto cria season. It’s a boy! 💙

Our first baby was born yesterday, 6 days before his due date. During my morning observations I was confident enough that there was not a baby coming that we went to church. A couple hours later we came home and there he was, walking around the pasture! He’s a strong, healthy, and handsome boy with a good, stealthy mama 🤣. Farmers are very happy.

Spring is springing. Grass is growing. Light colored alpacas have grass stained chins.

Chickens are so entertaining. It’s funny even when they run. They are like Pavlov’s dogs - the sound of the 4-wheeler has them running for food. When the farmer only fixes their coop door, they chase the 4-wheeler back to the barn 😅.
