A NEW BABY!!!!

Now before you get excited....we had an alpaca baby....not a new grandson and Shauna is still pregnant, much to her dismay. Our female alpaca, Alex was 6 days overdue and we were freaking out. When Den brought up another female to breed with Chieftain, Alex was near them and she cushed. (sat down) This is a surefire sign that an alpaca is not pregnant. Den was so upset, that I had him hold Alex, while I checked her out. I could feel a hoof, or something hard through the skin, so we knew that she really was pregnant. Fast forward 3 hours later and I look out the kitchen window. I said to Den, "Didn't you put that animal and her baby in the back pasture after the breeding? He said, "Yes." Then it dawned on both of us. Alex had her baby and they were out in the pasture.It's a girl. She weighed 17.5 lbs. The first few hours are critical, as the cria needs to nurse to get the antibodies from her mom.
She's a little wobbly, but very active. Now the big question is....is Clarice really pregnant? (The brown one) She is due tomorrow....or not.
