Two more cria this week

The cria additions for this week were both from client females--Izett for Jim Supple out of Cool, CA and Brandy for Stoneberg Alpacas, LLC out of Hillsboro, OR. For each of these females it was their first delivery and they were text book--not a glitch for either and both are excellent moms.



Izett's little male is out of Sun Tzu, has lovely crimpy fiber and he looks like he will be beige. So far we are calling him Jim as the owner has not yet given us a name. As our friends at Snowy River Alpacas can share with you--those "temporary" names can stick with them as we all still call Shadow by the name of Parker as they took too long to come up with an official name. His blood draw was done as Parker, his microchip, for just about all those early cria activities he was called Parker. If we aren't careful this little guy Jim could be in the show ring still being called Jim.







Brandy was bred to Pacific Crest Accoyo Paul Revere and her male cria is medium fawn. This photo taken by Doc Hunter of his granddaughter, Belle, holding Firecracker was just too cute to pass posting. Belle was helping while her grandfather drew Firecracker's blood for his IgG and DNA tests as well as while he was implanting his microchip. What a great little helper. Belle is planning to be a veterinarian like her grandfather--she is already in training.
