I was so intent on catching Samson and his mom while they were still, that I didn't really notice the position of Chilly in the background. It looks as if Delilah is balancing a mini alpaca on her back :)
Delilah had her baby!
11 May 2010 11:45 This is Samson, born around 7:15AM. Dar and Deb found Delilah just starting to give birth - all that was showing was his nose and toes. Textbook birth, and he's strong, healthy, and huge. And black and white! He's just beautiful.
That's his mom to his right, and that's Willow cushed next to him. She's almost four months old, and he's only about three hours old; he's huge!

He's got a coat on because it's freezing out there with very strong winds. That's Hailey next to him; she's three weeks old now, and he's the same size.

19 April 2010 16:11That's 11-month pregnant Delilah rolling in the dust bowl, looking like the happiest alpaca in the world.
( Cuz that's just how they roll )
The only thing alpacas like more than eating fresh pasture grass is rolling around
in the dirt. Deb's pastures have holes carved into the ground from all of the alpaca
butts and backs wearing the earth down with all that rollin' around.
I have no idea if I'm doing this correctly, but hopefully behind the cut is a 6 second vid of our cria Delilah eating my coat.
