This morning between 8:00 and 10:00 White Mountain Queen of the May gave birth to a 35 pound female cria. The cria's sire is Fabyan (see the history entry of this blog). She was standing within minutes and nursing within hours. May is proving to be an excellent mother. Auntie Bella is very supportive and they both watch over the young one like hawks.
The three llovely llamas will be moved up to their summer pasture on the outskirts of Woodsville in a week or two. Please feel free to stop by and visit our new baby!
Below is May and her Cria after a couple attempts to nurse. Both rest after such a new experience. This pictures was taken at 11:00 AM.
