We have a special baby

Shadow our Llama gave birth today. She gave birth to a 1/2 Llama 1/2 Alpaca cria. When the Llama is the mother it is called a Misty when the mom is an Alpaca the cria is called a huzaro. He is very cute and I have named him Sampson. He is all legs lol. It will be very interesting to see how he grows and what his fibre is like

The girls are out to drive me crazy

Ok how can 6 Alpacas all hold off on having their cria.  I have 5 girls who are all over due and one who is due now.  I am watching and watching till they are sick of me looking underneather and watching them nap. I see them laying on their side and go and watch them.  A week ago one of the girls fooled me and she was my last one due and she gave birth to a gorgeous little boy. What gives there is no rhyme or reason to them. I swaer the laydown and they take bets to see how long it will be before I am checking them.   I think when they deciede it is time they will come like popcorn or should I say papcacorn

Reggie and his mom are just too cute

I went outside and reggie and Raven were giving each other little licks. Alpacas do not really lick. They can do little tiny licks and this is what they were doing. Then I walk to the other side of the field and here are a few of the Alpacas laying there like they had been placed. All in a row. I thought it was pretty funny.
