Introducing "Doc" Martin - Our First Alpaca Baby Of 2013



Born Thursday, "Doc" Martin became our first alpaca baby of 2013.

Before we even knew he had arrived, he was exploring the pasture and investigating his new surroundings.


Dam, Liberty, is going to have her work cut out keeping track of this little man.  He is all over the place and seen sticking his nose where it doesn't always belong.


Like his name sake, this little guy is going to find himself in trouble if he doesn't learn to mind his alpaca manners in the pasture.  Luckily, Liberty is staying pretty close to make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble with the other expectant mommies.



Named after the TV Show which airs on PBS (Thursday nights), our alpacas this year will be named after the characters in the show.  For those who don't follow the series, it is about “Doc” Martin Ellingham who finds himself back home in a Cornish village after his illustrious medical career in London goes awry. The townspeople are not used to the doctor’s blunt opinions and insensitive manners, often leading to mayhem in the town of Portwenn.
Liberty wants us to shout the good news about the birth of her cria but we're keeping "mum" about the next choice of name.  If anyone would like to post ideas, please feel free to do so.  Remember, we are keeping in the Doc Martin Theme for 2013.
