We spend a lot of time in the summer waiting for crias to be born. The length of an alpaca’s gestation is quite variable. We always assume 11 months as a “due date”, but we’ve seen gestations almost 3 weeks short of that and we’ve seen others over a year long. We currently have four females that are past their 11-month due date. There’s not we can do but stick close to home and keep an eye on them. They’ll be ready when they’re ready….
