I'm a Great Grandmother Again

My granddaughter Wispa had a little boy today. He was born sometime between 6am and 2pm and weighed in at 6.2kg. He has a brown fleece and this is the only photo so far, as it was dusk before I go to see him. I suppose that is the problem with living so far away from my alpacas.

It was a bit of a surprise as she wasn’t due until the middle of September, which explains his small size. He was having a jolly good time running about so he seems healthy enough. Wispa is being attentive and not leaving him too far behind and the rest of the herd is being superb and sheltering both mother and baby from any outside intruders.

More pictures after I spend a little time with the herd on Tuesday morning.
