New 1 Female and 2 Male Alpaca cria @ furbelow farms in Goochland Virginia

Last year after Alpaca Cria Stella Blues was born to us, we had a loss,
Hot Fudge Sundae miscarried a beautiful female Alpaca that was still born, The vet came and was unable to get the cria out it was all stuck and twisted inside somehow. We donated the dead cria to Terri at Fireweed Alpacas in Goochland VA, for her neonatal clinics which she holds on a regular basis.

After that we had an additional 2 males, one was a complicate birth for Bliss. Tipper put out a rose grey, Casey (still looks silver grey). Tipper stands as the most easy birthing female alpaca we have. She never needs any help. She goes in the barn and comes out with an Alpaca cria. The rest of them seem spoiled and prefer our help.

We will soon add pictures of the new males Charlie, a bay black or true black alpaca and the grey looking Casey who looks just like his dam Tipper. It sure looks like Casey, after his first shearing, will be a rose grey like his next oldest sister, Maggie

Logan is our main Herd Sire and Logan is the Sire for the 2 new alpaca boys. Logan is re bred to most of the girls for next years alpaca cria (baby alpaca). Logan is NOW available for the very first time for breeding's on a very limited basis. With several cria on the ground now, he continues to pass on his dense fleece and curly, very crimpy fiber to his offspring.

Misha finally had his way with Sunset Pearl This is a white to white breeding. Pearl is 1/2 Acoyyo. Pearls sire is a full imported Accoyo, Peruvian Don Juan, who took 1st place at the 2004 AOBA Fiber to Fashion Show when he was over 10. At almost 10 years old herself, she has very crimpy fiber that she inherited from her sire. Pearl continues to be one of our best producers. Too bad for Misha, She always gets pregnant on her first breeding!

We also picked up a beautiful very promising Buck from Green Fence Farm . His name is Moose, He is out of the Green Fence Farms prize stud, 2003 Virginia Fair Champion, Telleman. See a picture of this buck "moose" at the bottom of the page. Moose's kid looks just like his daddy and hopefully he has had his way with Suzy, Cinderealla and our "Moose" girl. We look forward to having 5 or so new Cashmere Goat kids in the spring. Please Contact Ginger for New Kid information and to reserve your kid now!

New Virgnia born alpaca Stella Blue

Looks like Stella Blue already has her first picture on the internet. The Vet was here yesterday,
all is well now. Stella had not had her first bm so the vet had to help her with that.
She left us a nice squirter thing to help the next one ourselves. Thus far we had not experienced this with any of the other previous cria.

This is Logans first cria, it has inherited his dense curly & kinky fiber.
Stella has dried up and even dried up again after her first shower. So now she is clean and fluffy.
She is still learning how to roll.

Today Reggie tore up Misha a bit in a little fight they had. Reggie must have fighting teeth.
Misha got his removed the time before last when the vet was here. He had to be sedated and the vet sawed his fighting teeth out.

Logan remains the most his spot as king of all the alapca. He has quite the collection of dirty fighting tricks and seems to be the biggest and heaviest.

Breeding wise it looks like Turk is going to be bred to Pearl in 12 days. The last 2 times Pearl was bred to a True Black alpaca she had a medium brown cria.

Pearl has lots of milk and is a good alpaca mom. Pearl has to spit at Angel for the first day or so after Stella Blue and Pearl were realesed into the general female alpaca population. All the girls seem to be getting along fine.

Hot Fudge Sundae is due is less than 2 weeks. Her Sire is a beautiful rose grey alapca.
