Meadow

Since our last two crias born in October arrived, life at the farm has been very hectic just trying to keep these two going. The “Little Guy” from last post has been named Tebow. He had a rough start, but am happy to say that he’s doing just fine now. He’s gained weight and can be seen at times romping with the other crias. Meadow, the little girl born on the 17th of Oct. has had trouble getting enough to eat. Her mom hasn’t been producing enough milk for her. I have had to be out in the barn every two hours during the day to supplement her feeding. With many ups and downs since then, she is finally steadily gaining weight but still has some catching up to do. She’s very petite and is the cutest little cria. She’s gaining enough strength now that she’s been trying to spit at me when I put her blanket on when its cold. She’s a tough little girl and has gone through some hard times just trying to stay alive. She had a visitor – Dana who wanted to take her home. Isn’t this a cute picture? The adult alpaca in the picture is Meadow’s Grandmother – Klarice.
