Polly

May 21st

Yep, we hada criatoday.  She is brown and is out of Hwinn and Caspian. Hwinn is white and this is her first cria.  She stressed usout pretty well by presenting with her head and "elbows"in acushed position.  We were unable to manipulate to get her feet out so we took a trip to the vet.  Our vetwas abletomanipulate the cria and we are incredibly thankful to him as thiswashis first alpaca birth!  Pictures coming soon. Mom and cria are doing well.  Maybe we willhave one tomorrow that is less eventful.

Wow - no crias yet. Tarkeena and Hwinn are both at 353days gestation.  I think they are enjoying our fragile state of mindas they wait to give birth!!!  Maybe our 80+ degreeweather today will get things moving.

We attended the MN Alpaca Expo this weekend.  Itwas a great time.  Glenstorm earned a 2ndplace in a class of7.  Tarkon earned a 1st place in a class of1.  Trumpkin earned a 5thin a very competitive white male class of 10.  We are looking forward to showing again at the Great Midwest Alpaca Festival in Madison,WI onApril 25 and26.
