It was already after six in the evening and Amidala was acting a tad fussy—for most late term moms I would just consider it a part of being a late term alpaca. But not when it comes to Queen Amidala, AOO. She had already had a late delivery in 2005 at 8:15 in the evening. So when she started acting fussy there was enough past history to warrant preparing for the new arrival regardless of what time it was. And less than an hour later Tucker Creek’s Revolution was on the ground. He is an energetic, curious, curly fleeced little guy weighing in at 18.6 pounds. So far his fiber appears fawn from the tips of his ears and down his back and then fades to white as it goes down his legs. Only time will tell what color he will end up--we have had others who when born appeared fawn or beige only to turn perfectly white within a few months.
Rev's dam was awarded 1st Place at the Heart of the Valley Alpaca Show & Sale - WABA 2003 and 2nd Place Western Alpaca Extravaganza
– CABA 2002. She is a very beautiful rose grey with a great disposition and loves being a mom. His sire is Pacific Crest Accoyo Paul Revere. Paul Revere's parents were hand picked by Greg Mecklam with the guidance of Don Julio. His cria display incredible crimp, density and conformation. Limited breedings with Paul Revere are available for 2007.
Keep stopping back as we will update the blog with each new arrival and/or whenever a topic of general interest sparks my need to share.
Hope you are all having a wonderful and safe Memorial weekend.
