"Hector"
The last cria of the year arrived at Blue Moon Ranch today. Lola had her baby around 8 pm. Lucky for him he stood up right away ( less than 10 minutes old in the photo) and found the milk bar before it got too dark! Brego (below) will have a good friend to play with!

"Brego"
Calypso is such a pro at having babies! She popped Brego out in a matter of minutes and is doting on him like she should. He is running with the other babies and is very vigorous! Congratulations to Mary Owen, Bramblewood Alpacas, who thinks he is "just wonderful".

"Cecily"
Sienna had her first cria today and is being a great mom. Another female for Blue Moon Ranch! She is about one hour old in these photos and is waiting for a perfect name. Sienna's bloodlines combined with Teewinot's will make this girl one to keep an eye on! She told me her name is Cecily. :)

"Princess Grace"
Queen Ester waited until all the wedding guests were gone and then delivered a sweet baby girl for Blue Moon Ranch. Since her mother is a Queen , we will call her Princess Grace. :) She is still wet in the first picture and less than a hour old. She is a Smokey brown and we are wondering if there is gray in there somewhere!

We'll show them in order of their births.
"Mondo"

"Maddie"
Next to arrive, exactly one minute later at 12:50 is Amy's little girl, also fathered by Teewinot. Wow look at that fleece on a newborn!
Blue Moon Ranch will own this cria and we couldn't be happier.
"Micah"
Livia, who made us wait the longest had a 23 pound baby girl, also fathered by Teewinot. She looks so much like Livia did when she was born! Congratulations to Rina and Creig of Amber Mountain Alpacas.

Fifi finally had her cria! Paddington arrived around 10 am with a little assistance and yes, he has 2 ears, it's just that one is a little stuck back as a result of how he was positioned inside Fifi. It will straighten out in a week or so.
Congratulations again to Scott Heldman of Sweet Pea Alpaca Farm.
