A new arrival

Why are alpacas so unpredictable! We have one alpaca due a week ago, one this weekend and three on the 19th. Two of those due on the 19th had their cria early last year and one late. So....the one we thought would have hers the latest in the year had hers today - typical! 17 days early we have the appearance of another Jack boy, solid black this time.

He looks a strong wee thing already. typical pacas - no telling them what to do. We had Groove in to mate with one of our females today but she was not ready (a yearling). She was totally confused by him and started acting like a cria! We tried him with another experienced mum but he was put off by that point. Maybe tomorrow.....
