what do you call ....






Ok, what is the term for the birth of a baby llama?
Better know what a baby llama is called first ....

That would be a CRIA
so. the answer: criation - honestly.
Meet Sue
named after the Sumac trees she was born under today.
her full name is sue pajama llama and has very similar markings to Kusko
after 2 strange llama days this third was a good one.
Thursday, I was in my office doing PR stuff and the dogs bark and a horn toots in the driveway. Mama and Kusko have been hearded up the driveway by a passing truck - who hoped he found the right farm. Glenn had left a gate open the night before.
They got home safe and sound.
The next day, vile Mr. Prince, who got merged with all the critters when some critter knocked down the fence and the sheep are all running together again
well. mr. vile was attacking Mama and Kusko and they were shrieking! the noise was horrid and it took a while to get them apart. Kusko hopped the fence to get away and mama was lamed from his biting and attack.
I got him out and penned off. but the other two were hiding in the Sumac
SO
today, when I went to see how her leg was, BOY, WAS I SHOCKED to see a little one
I thought she had miscarried and that was all. BUT there was a tiny baby, all dry and healthy.
so Blessed we are and a baby Cria we have.
We had to moved them in trailer to the barn. Can't wait to post those pix as glenn and I had a parade float of llamas.
more pix later.
hugs
woollier that ever ones
