JandJ Golden Wonder

Golden Wonder was the next cria born on 20th June. His mum is Mississippi Moonlight one of our original 4 alpacas & he is brother to Hope, Destiny & Dream. Golden was an amazing colour when he was born, really golden, hence his name & as he has got older it has gone slightly lighter.

Dream's cria & Elvis & Gethin

Dream's cria has finally a name, he's called Affinity.

On Tuesday we put our 2 Lincoln Longwool rams in with the girls. Gethin our first born lamb has 5 girls in his field & Elvis has the rest.

Dream's new cria

Well the cria didn't arrive on Thursday, he arrived at 1pm today, when we were in the field mating Hornblower to Shirley Bassey! He's a lovely, brown boy & unusually for us he hasn't a name at the moment.

Waiting for a Dreamy baby

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the last cria of the summer, number 18. Dream is due on the 10th but tonight she is looking promising. It has been raining here all last night & this morning & all the alpacas apart from one have lovely clean coats. Dream on the other hand looks filthy, she has been rolling on the dirt pad which is normally lovely & dry but today is very muddy & she is covered in mud patches from the top of her neck to her toes! Her tail is slightly raised & she is humming so I am hoping for a cria in the morning, not too early, the last 2 births have been 8.15 & 7.45!

Claire, who was the last to give birth to Chance, has been mated to Hornblower tonight
