You’ve been very patient waiting to learn how many of our alpacas are pregnant, and I won’t make you wait any longer. I will precede the announcement briefly, with a reminder that we bred five girls to Ace in hopes of having more than one cria, so they can play together just like Baxter and Ace when they were young. Those two had a blast growing up together.  The following year, when Indie was born, she was an only child. She was a happy little cria who had a lot of fun being the biggest pest to her aunties, but we always wondered if she would have enjoyed having someone to grow up with.  Anyway, without further ado, below are the girls who are expecting, the sonograms, and their due dates: Are you as surprised as we are??
We’re super proud of Ace, who will become a proven herdsire, and look forward to seeing which genetics he passes on to his offspring and to other farms that are interested in his services. If you have your GSA 2026 wall calendar handy, this is a good time to write down each of their due dates so you can track their delivery dates along with us.

I’ve received some really great questions that I’d like to share with you. Maybe you were wondering some of these yourself?
As a quick reminder, we paired our black male alpaca, Ace, with five of our females:
How did Ace pick the girls? Ace had it easy. He only needed to show up. 😉 We decided who we wanted him to pair up with, but we also waited for the girls to tell us they were interested in him. Were the girls ready? Yes. They gave us signals they were interested, whether they flirted with Ace at the fence line or when one camped out by the boys’ paddock waiting for him to join her. How long before pregnancies are confirmed, and how do you confirm a pregnancy? This answer is twofold. We can confirm on the farm within a month via a spit test and behavioral changes, but neither guarantees a pregnancy (a spit test is a behavioral response to a male’s romantic overtures conducted over several weeks). To be certain, we confirmed pregnancies by ultrasound, which should be done at least three months after the last breeding encounter. Do we expect all the breedings to be successful? No. We chose to breed five females to increase our odds that some would become pregnant. Do we know who the expectant mom is? YES! Ultrasounds were recently conducted, and we know who is pregnant. |
