We just had a baby llama/alpaca...huarizo cria. A mix between an alpaca and a llama is a
haurizo.

Taylor our black female llama had her baby this morning, or about noon. He just showed up in the field. No problems, no stress. Llamas give birth so easily. It took him about an hour or so to get to his feet.

We relocated Taylor and baby to a separate pen and put Patty in there with them, expecting her to give birth any day now. I think they are early though. 350 day gestation. I think we got Alonso last October, but I suppose we are within a couple of weeks of due date.

In any case, here he is...Leonardo, the newest addition to the farmstead. 26 pounds of legs and fluff.
