First Cria Born on the Ranch!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

On June 27th our alpaca Bella Rose had her first cria and the first baby born at Old Castle Alpacas! She had him during the time we weren’t looking of course, but we did see the baby on the ground right after HE was born…within the first 20 minutes. Everything went well and both mom and baby had a textbook perfect birth. He is Henry the Grey’s son from Blue Ribbon Alpacas of California and we are thinking about naming him “Freedom” because he was born close to the 4th of July and a female cria named “Liberty” was born on the same day at Alpaca Mining Company in Nevada…So, Happy Birthday Freedom!
