Cria, like most babies, seem to turn up when they are ready. More waiting means more sitting around with the alpacas – which is quite a treat actually.
We name the cria by taking the next letter in the alphabet and since we have the herd name of Welsh Valley Alpacas, we have a book of Welsh baby names to help us. Some letters are limited (or don’t exist) and some are plentiful for male/female but not the other way around.
So far we have:
- Lena
- Meurig
- Nidian
- Olwena
- Perl
- Rebeca
- Steffan
- Tabitha
Still waiting on a few…
