Fresh out the oven🥧

We have had the luckiest baby girl just born at Willowranch Alpacas!!🦙

Lucy-Lou has been trying for years to have a cria and unfortunately she never held her pregnancy in previous years. We decided the last few years that she was very special to us and would now become our “nanny” to our new cria and retire from trying to have a cria of her own.

To our surprise… A baby girl has hit the ground from Lucy Lou this week🌸 Long legs, full of energy and healthy!

Now to chose a special name? 🥰

Dam: Honeyfield Lucy Lou
Sire: Sherwood Phantom

Jermima knows how to tackle this extreme heat🥵 Who will be next to go for a dip? 💧

Sit back, Relax and Nap😴

Happy and her little cria love to sit around together in the field. has anyone noticed his bent ears? Waiting patiently for them to straighten and get stronger as he grows!!☺️

✨NEW ARRIVAL✨

We are delighted to welcome this little boy to Willowranch Alpacas!! 🦙

Our first cria born in 2022 & our first mating/cria to hit the ground from our stud Phantom😀

He didn’t have the best start but he is now thriving!! They both are nearly ready to brave the great outdoors to meet the other alpacas.

He certainly got a lot of attention.. some might say he is ‘high maintenance’ 🤔🤭

Drop a comment below with some name suggestions??

Sire: Sherwood Phantom
Dam: Honeyfield Happy Daze

Hunter❤️‍🔥 How gorgeous is this tiny boy!! Hunter is the smallest of our cria this year. He was the last to be born. We decided he deserves a little jacket to keep him warm during this harsh winter weather. Isn’t he the cutest?🥰

Sunset walks with Phantom⛅️

Phantom has performed excellent over the summer months. He has been super busy mating our breeding girls. We have had several ‘spit offs’ which tells us as breeders if the female is pregnant. The female will ‘cush’ or lie down if she is not pregnant and wants to be mated or she will spit, kick and run away if she is pregnant. Looking forward to plenty of phantom cria in summer 2022! 😄

Nearly showtime!! 🦙 Don’t forget to stop by The Woodlands House Hotel for an exciting day at Marys Organic Garden… and to see the special alpaca guests! 🎃👻

For those wondering how we mate our alpacas…. Female alpacas are induced ovulators, meaning she will ovulate when mated by a male and will ‘spit off’ the advancing male in response to pregnancy. The male chases the female around until she eventually cush’s for him. The male makes a distinctive orgling sound during the mating. A female is pregnant on average 11.5 months so mating season for summer 2022 has already began here at Willowranch Alpacas. This is our gorgeous grey male Sherwood Phantom mating Willowranch Arabella. 🦙🦙
