DMAR Versace

Posted 24 September, 2008 in New Crias |

DMAR Versace was born on Monday, September 22nd at 9:25 am. At this time he is a brown boy weighing 16.8 lbs. He is nursing well and shows he is growing by jumping off the deck.

Versace’s dam, AVR By Golly Miss Molly, is doing well. She surprised us as she went into labor 5 days early, however as you can see in the pictures Versaci is definitely full term. Ears are straight and the teeth have erupted meaning he is no preemie. Molly showed no signs of labor. I fed her early around 5:30 am. She ate fine. It wasn’t until 9:20 that I noticed her standing with her tail straight up. I casually walked outside to check on her and when I reached the gate I heard her pushing. I quickly ran inside to grab the cria kit. A minute later I was outside to find the baby’s head and feet sticking out. It was the fastest labor I have experienced so far. Within 5 minutes the cria was on the ground.

Versace is the 3rd cria born on our ranch using our herdsire, Snowmass Incan Emperor. The first cria, DMAR Nikoli, recently took 1st at the 2008 New Mexico State Fair Alpaca Show. The 2nd cria, DMAR Armani, will attend his first show in November at AlpacaFest West. We are truly excited as his histogram came back showing he has a 17.8 micron. Armani is everything we wanted from the combination of his dam and sire. Now we add Versace to the mix. We expect him to be just as wonderful as the other two crias.
