It’s A Girl!!
Our lovely Natalia and Polar Ice gave birth to a beautiful little girl this morning (June 6, 2014). Peaceful Heart’s Elsa is our own little ice princess, and is already up and running around. She is a good size alpaca cria (18 pounds) and is very strong. She began to try to sit up as soon as she hit the ground, and seems to have great control of her legs for an hour old cria. She is already managing the short step up and down of our shed in their pasture. Black Ice has not yet discovered his new playmate, but I’m sure he will soon and will enjoy playing with a cria his own size.
Elsa is our first cria from our new multi-Champion herdsire Polar Ice. We have been anxiously awaiting his first crias, and are thrilled with our beautiful Elsa. I think she is going to look just like her sire.
We invite you to come by and see Black Ice and Elsa. We are hoping that the other girls will be inspired to give birth, and we will soon have more alpaca crias running around the farm.
