Babies!

So we have 2 more babies at Solace Farm, as of Tuesday.  To start with, Annie had a beautiful little white alpaca boy already out at 6 am as usual.  And just like little Tammy last year, he's got two blue eyes, so there's a 90% chance he's deaf like she was.  We'll have to watch him and see for sure, but logically we should assume he is.  We also need to weigh him, now and at least once a week for a while.

Visitors

I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted - 2 weeks!  To get it out of the way right now, no I haven't had the baby yet, I've just been horribly unmotivated  - I'll certainly announce the birth here when it does happen.  

Last weekend, we had some very special company.  Our WWOOFer from 2 years ago, Benjamin, came back with his family on a visit from Germany!  We have kept in touch, but hadn't seen him since, or met his parents and brother, so that was a wonderful visit.  

...And Yet More

Yes, we have more babies!  Fern had a calf on Wednesday morning, a little blond boy.  We haven't named him yet, and we're open to suggestions.  He looks to be healthy and happy, Caleb has seen him nursing, and actually swooped in pretty quickly and got a weight with our new scale and sling - ~40 pounds, a nice size for a Scottish calf.  We probably won't catch him again, Fern is pretty nervous, but it's still helpful to have a base weight for any other calves, since we've never weighed one before.
