Well, surprise, surprise, Fawndew wasn't acting right this morning. Sure enough she was in labor. She was due either Aug. 4th or perhaps Aug. 29th...........so I guess Aug. 13 is right in the middle & must be perfect. A pretty little boy, brown with a white spot. Looks a lot like Sadie's boy. One leg back, so intervention needed............................She is/was a maiden, so we'll see how she does.
Pictures to follow.
About Me
- Wanda
- I grew up here in the San Luis Valley and returned with my husband and son in August 2004. My husband died very unexpectedly 11/18/08 while working with some farm machinery. I own 40 acres and raise hay. I have owned alpacas and angora rabbits although I do not have any presently. My son is still with me & helps on the farm. We are very active in our local church.

This is all so exciting!
What does it mean is alpaca speak to be a "maiden"?
Well, a maiden is an alpaca who has never had a baby before (I presume never been pregnant also). It is such a lovely "old fashioned" sounding name, isn't it?
