Finally, spring has sprung! The sunny days and warm temperatures signal the time for spring-cleaning, spring alpaca shows and SPRING CRIAS! We were expecting three crias this spring in April, May and June but the little ones had a completely different idea and they all came in May.

The first to check in was our full Accoyo male, "Accoyo Royal Thunder." He was born on May 3rd, 2003, and weighed in at 19.2 lbs. Royal Thunder is the son of the famous herdsire Royal Fawn and Peruvian import, CPeruvian Accoyo Canada Blue. Thunder's white fleece is very lustrous and crimpy and seems to have excellent coverage. He certainly enjoys running around the pasture and keeping the adults very busy.

Our second cria to arrive came on May 22nd and was named Charlemagne. At birth, he weighed 20 lbs and is a beautiful light fawn color with distinctive vicuna markings. He carries dark genes with his sire, Captain Midnight, being true black and his dam, Xandrea, being bay black. Charlemagne prances out to the pasture, carrying himself very proudly and looks to be a promising future herdsire.

Arriving on May 29th was Sherman, son of Peruvian Whitney and Peruvian Black Out. Weighing in at 17.2 lbs little Sherman couldn't be cuter with his curly, dark fawn fleece. He has a LOT of energy and a very spunky attitude. His two older mates have to work hard to keep pace with the "Little General".
