Two Cooked Long Enough to Become Girls!!!

The two most recent deliveries were both female . . . yeahhhhhh!  But one delivered on day 384 and the other on day 365.  The obvious question, of course, "did you mess up the breeding dates" and the answer to both is a very clear NO.  Each of the ladies was bred only once . . . pretty tough to confuse.  And thank heavens the second took a year . . . she was only 13.2 pounds . . . you would not have wanted her to come out any sooner.  Both are very healthy. 

The first born on August 1 (day 384)  is named Tucker Creek's Astoria and she is the product of Cordelia and Sun Tzu and true to her father's contribution has incredibly dense crimpy fiber. 

On August 23 Khani delivered a beautiful Sun Tzu baby girl named Tucker Creek's Mala on day 365.  It was Khani's first delivery and it was truly text book.  She may be tiny but makes up for it in spirit.

The next group of cria should start arriving around Labor Day.  Ten to go . . . five are ours and five are client animals.  So there are still some opportunities to buy bred females and have a cria in 2010 AND take advantage of the tax benefits available this year but currently scheduled to go away in 2011.  Amor, Chloe, Gidget and McKenzie are all bred to Hemingway's Bogart.
