It's Baby Time at Many of the Farms in the Network

Spring (what we're having of it this year) is a time of great expectations at many of our member farms. All across Ohio, fiber farmers are anxiously awaiting the birth of lambs, kids, bunnies and crias.

Marcee Stephenson at Criation Station Alpaca Farm in Oberlin is no exception. Her first cria arrived on April 16th, an excellent young girl named TCS Allie Cat (below right), followed soon after by Pablo's Peruvian Cortez, a fawn colored male born April 19th (below middle).

After a month break, the next set of crias started arriving.

This still-unamed beautiful white female arrived on May 24th.



And, not to be outdone, this young lady arrived on June 2nd.

Marcee has a little break until July, when she is expecting two more crias.

Things were also hopping at Melody Lane Farm in Valley City, Ohio.

Jim Foster had his hands full with two new crias, one male and one female.

Beth Karr and her daughter Sarah welcomed some adorable Jacob sheep this spring to Roving Acres Farm in Pierpont.

They are too cute for words.

Many more outstanding fiber animals are being born at farms across the state this Spring. And just as many fiber farmers are excited about their arrival.
