Baby alpacas, crias and their mums

Good morning from the paddocks of Little Valley Farm!

It’s a special moment here as we watch one of our mama alpacas bonding with her newborn cria. Since it’s an autumn birth, you’ll see the little one wrapped in a cozy dog jacket to stay warm (as they can’t regulate their body temperature for the first week).

Join us at the farm as we share the joys of raising alpacas, especially during those precious first 30 days of life - and how quickly they grow in the first 30 days. It's amazingly fast. We will also be discussing cria care, cria kits and what you need, plus much more, at our upcoming alpaca workshop in the Hunter Valley. Daniela
