What's happening at Ambershire farm

The day to day activities at an alpaca farm are always exciting. Like the time our foundation dam Shakira gave birth to her third cria right in front of me. The first thing that Kieran saw was me looking at him! What a trip that was to witness!
Then there was the time that I was late getting to work, but Ariel gave birth to Aidan right in front of me. Since it was October and a very cold morning, I had to stay and get him into his cria coat. Of course it had to match the blue in our farm sign. Nevertheless, I had a hard time explaining to a substitute secretary at work what an alpaca birth was and why I would be late because of it.
