Am I Behind on Cria News?????

The summer is just racing by. Can't believe we are already on cria number eight and I have only reported on two. Well here goes the update:

River Rock's Tiffany delivered a medium fawn Sun Tzu male on June 11th. Had some wonderful suggestions on his name but Korynn and David won't allow any changes. His name is Tucker Creek's Bungee Buuud. Very soft and crimpy.

On June 14th two more Sun Tzu progeny appeared in our pasture from Tequila's Marcella, owned by Oregon Coast Alpacas and RGA Cordelia owned by Jim Supple of Cool, CA. Marcella had a beautiful dark brown female named Tucker Creek's Collie. And Cordelia had a very busy medium fawn male by the name of Tucker Creek's Cordelia's Cordial--Cord by his friends.

Two days later Queen Amidala, AOO, delivered a gorgeous rose grey Sun Tzu male named Tucker Creek's Sun Tzu Warrior. Very strong weighing in over 20 pounds. Beautiful fiber. He pretty much rules the cria pasture--just like his mother--always in

control.

All of the crias to this date were shorn on shearing day so we had a wonderful opportunity to check out their fiber. Sun Tzu has done well--as usual. If you would like to see samples, just email or call Peggy.

One week after shearing on July 7th Queen Amidala's opinionated daughter, Tucker Creek's Jasmine, gave birth to yet another Sun Tzu baby boy. A very dark energetic character by the name of Tucker Creek's Oscuro (dark in Spanish). You may call him Oscar if you prefer.

And the most recent addition born on July 23rd is Tucker Creek's Sun Fuego out of Coastal Moon's Katrina and Sun Tzu. A handsome dark rose grey male. Just love all the rose grey babies this year.

Don't look at the male to female ratio (two out of eight) as I am convinced it will turn around here any day. THINK PINK!!!

Just 5 Minutes Apart

Saturday afternoon we were watching the Belmont Stakes on television and just about the time all the excitement at Belmont Park was dying down the excitement in our pasture was just beginning. Tucker Creek's Cheyenne was in mid-delivery with two legs and a head hanging out. We raced down to the pasture and identified that all was going smoothly when we realized that Cheyenne was not the only mom ready to bring a new cria into the world--IAOC Iomi was just a few minutes behind Cheyenne--but she had only one leg and a head showing. With just a quick search for the other leg all was in perfect position for the next arrival.

So at 4:00 Cheyenne presented us with a beautiful white female cria we named Tucker Creek's Bella (in honor of the Belmont). She weighed in at 19.0 pounds and is busy healthy girl.

At 4:05 Iomi presented us with a handsome medium fawn male cria we named Tucker Creek's Belmont Runner (in honor of the Belmont and, yes, because he is quite the runner). He weighed in at 15.2 pounds and is still running.

Both of these gorgeous cria were sired by our handsome Studmaster™ EC Sun Tzu.

Bella and Cheyenne are our featured package for the combined price of $16,750. First and second generation Studmaster™ females including a breeding for each of them.

Three more ladies are due any time--two of them are ours--Queen Amidala, AOO and River Rock's Tiffany, the third belongs to one of our clients. Will keep you posted as they arrive.
