This morning at 9:00 am Iquique was born. His mom White Lace, a first time mother, was a bit overwhelmed. All the female alpacas were investigating the new arrival. I found him sitting up and very alert. I moved mom and cria to stall to check vitals and make sure he was able to nurse. He is very active and ready for the world. I felt as if it was the first cria not the sixth born on our farm. I was fairly excited. His sire is Blazing Ben, a light fawn while his mom is true white. I think he is quite beautiful and I was very curious as to what color his fiber would be. Photo compliments of Noah's cell phone.
Congratulations!!! He is a cutie! Let us know when your Smokey cria arrives.
