The newest Alpaca

Here are a few pics of the new cria born today. We think she was born about 3pm or so - just before we got home from the airport dropping off Kate. In the lower right of this one you get a glimpse of the placenta. It was really big and pretty gross.


Since it was rainy Jim picked her up and took her to the barn to dry off and stay warm.


There she is with Socks her mom.


This happenned a few times to Jim, a couple to MaryJane and once to Jacob, Sarah and the neighbor. Socks was giving little 'kisses' as we told Sarah. I think she got Jim and MJ pretty good a couple times. She's biting Jim on the head. This one he just about started cussing like a rancher. Wait, he is a rancher!



I think she weighs 18.5 lbs and is nursing and walking very well. Wouldn't that be great if our kids could walk around within an hour? I guess it did happen on that 'Baby geniuses' show. Was that a true story? Anyway, as far as I know this little girl doesn't have a name yet. How about Bodor or Bocor in honor of the poor little kitties?

There should be two more coming along soon!
