Our birthing season is now completed at Yew Tree Alpacas. We have five healthy cria born this year, four boys and one girl.  See the role call of names ….

Dillon - born early June

Enzo – born early July

Umbra – born late July

Ferdi – born late July

Gilbert – born mid August

Their fleece colours range from white, light fawn, mid fawn, to bay black. Congratulations to the mums; Dakota, Enya, Flora, Carla and Emily.

The average birth weight of a cria is 7.5kg – 8kg but this year the weight range was from 6kg – 9.5kg. When a cria is around 5-5.5kg they are near premature weight and bringing them through the first 48 hrs is difficult. Fortunately these five suckled well from day 1 and all have had a very good start.
