Two alpaca crias born June 25
Peaceful Heart’s Effie Mae & Peaceful Heart’s Ephraim
It was a first for Peaceful Heart Alpacas, two alpaca crias born within half an hour of each other. Monday morning was busy around here.
At 10:00am, Effie Mae gave birth to a beautiful little boy that we named Ephraim. Ephraim appears to be a light brown/dark fawn color with a rosegray face and legs. His true color is yet to be determined. (For those keeping score, we have decided that Gryffyndor is bay black now that his cria tips have been shorn off and we can see his fleece better.)
Snowmass Casanova’s Arch Angel
Ephraim’s sire is the impressive Snowmass Casanova’s Arch Angel. Ephraim was up and nursing within 30 minutes, and running circles around the pasture within an hour of birth. He’s got a beautiful tightly bundled fleece with an incredible brightness.

At 10:30, Sugar Cookie decided that 376 days was plenty to be pregnant and she couldn’t wait any longer. She also delivered a little boy with incredible fleece. His density is fabulous. Sir Galahad’s sire is Lord Tennyson, and he is as beautiful as his full sibling Milton. He appears to be beige with a tiny brown spot on his neck, and a black spot inside his ear. Galahad wasn’t as perky as Ephraim right after birth, so we have moved him and Sugar Cookie to the barn to let him settle into farm life slowly. Today he has been up and kicking his heels around the stall, so he should be joining the other crias soon.

Lady Clare and Gryffyndor are thrilled to have the company around the pasture. We invite you to come and visit them all.
