A New Cria On The Farm!
Moon with Cria less than an hour old
It has been a very long Summer waiting for our first cria to be born. Seeing all of my fellow breeders across the country welcoming in their new cria since Spring has been fun and we are finally experiencing the fun here on our farm.
This past Tuesday September 6th our Ballerina Moon gave birth to a beautiful girl! Her delivery was perfect and Moon was a strong girl this year unlike her experience last year with her first birth. Last year she seemed so confused about what was happening to her and after Bentley was born she didn't even look at him! This year she instantly bonded with her little one and has been very attentive day and night!
We haven't named our little one yet. I am trying to see what her personality is like and want to pick the perfect name for her.
Her sire is The Duke of Cascade Alpacas from Hood River OR. She is the second girl on our farm sired by Duke.
Dukes Peruvian Lily was born in 2010.
We are still waiting patiently for the next 3 cria to be born on the farm. Two are due any day!
Stay tuned and check back often for updates!
Enjoy the photos!
All Cushed and looking cute!
Found the milk bar! Yummmm
