Lovely cria, congratulations. Is it a girl or boy? I am in Turriff and my good friend breeds Alpacas. (Zanzibah)  She had 5 gorgeous cria this year, 4 girls and one boy.  They are totally adorable, especially the boy who comes over for a cuddle.

Hello and thank you. Think it's a girl (looking from a few metres). We wanted to let them bond without any disturbance so will look closer today. Despite reading loads, we are learning as we go with this being our first one  :)

Are the Zanzibah herd the ones over between Cuminestown and Neer Deer? If you have a contact number for Zanzibah could you PM please as we are looking to add to our herd.

No Zanzibah are Banff and Jayne is on Alpaca Seller Breeders but does not have anything for sale at the moment.  She is a wealth of knowledge though and you can follow her blog at    http://zanzibahalpacas.blogspot.com/ (http://zanzibahalpacas.blogspot.com/)

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Cairnhill and Zanzibah for your help this afternoon. Had a most enjoyable time.

Our Cria..... on closer inspection is a boy (thank you Jayne  :-[ ) and on knowing that we have decided to call him Rufus..... or to give him his full title 'Uppermill Rufus'

Again, thank you both  :)
