Cria, like most babies, seem to turn up when they are ready. More waiting means more sitting around with the alpacas - which is quite a treat actually.

We name the cria by taking the next letter in the alphabet and since we have the herd name of Welsh Valley Alpacas, we have a book of Welsh baby names to help us. Some letters are limited (or don't exist) and some are plentiful for male/female but not the other way around.

So far we have:

• Lena
• Meurig
• Nidian
• Olwena
• Perl
• Rebeca
• Steffan
• Tabitha

Still waiting on a few...
