Cisco's new buddy - Jojo

Cisco now has a new little buddy that he plays with. Jojo is a little fawn male alpaca that was born the day before Cisco. I just love to watch the two of them interacting in the field together. Usually we have several crias born at the same time. These last few years with the extreme heat and humidity early in the spring has caused our alpacas to abort. Last year after several pregnancy tests we were told that Maggie, Cisco's mother was not pregnant. I kept saying to my husband that Maggie sure is a crab I wonder if she is pregnant. Come May Maggie delivered us little Cisco. Cisco needed a playmate as he wants to run but the older gal alpacas can run with him but certainly do not want to run as much as Cisco wants to run and so we got Jojo. Eventually Cisco and Jojo will be sold as fiber boys together to some very lucky and good family.
