Surprise - It's a boy!

Well, we didn't expect Sofie's cria to come along for another couple of weeks, but our due date must have been off a bit. Sofie was humming and acting suspicious this morning and between around 10 and 11 a.m. this 17 pound boy came bouncing out!

Here's a picture of the happy mom Sofie (aka She's So Fawn) and her new baby boy.

According to our mom, before noon this guy was already running around the pasture like he was born a couple of days ago. This healthy and handsome guy is the son of Bruxo's Peruvian Luxor, the 2006 AOBA National Champion White Suri Male. Special thanks to Daley's Pleasant Hill Farm for another outstanding herdsire!

I rechecked our two other pregnant girls and one looks like she's building up her milk supply...I won't be surprised if we have another cria within the next day or two!

It's a girl!

Misty's Morning Miracle (aka Mira) and JJA Royal Adonis are pleased to announce the arrival of their new cria. Here is the first official photo of mom and baby soon after the birth. (Mom needs a haircut.)

The new baby girl weighed in at 14 pounds, 10 oz and is nursing well from mom. She's beautiful! Thank you to Joyful Journey Alpacas for their outstanding herdsire.

I'll post more pictures later, but I just wanted to get at least one on the site tonight.
