There is nothing quite like cria season at Harehill Alpacas. After weeks of watchful waiting, quiet field checks, and plenty of hopeful glances towards the mums, we are delighted to share that new cria have arrived here on our family-run alpaca farm in County Down.

Each new arrival brings its own little personality from the very beginning. Some are up on their feet quickly, taking in the world with bright eyes and wobbly legs. Others take their time, staying close to mum while they find their confidence. Either way, those first few hours are always special.

A joyful season on the farm

Cria are baby alpacas, and their arrival is one of the most exciting times in the farming year. The herd becomes a little livelier, the fields feel full of curiosity, and there is always a good reason to pause and watch.

Behind every birth is careful planning, daily care, and a deep respect for the animals. Our priority is always the wellbeing of both mum and cria. We give them space, keep a close eye on their progress, and let those early bonds form naturally.

Getting to know the new arrivals

Over the coming days and weeks, the cria will grow stronger, steadier, and more playful. Their colours, fleece quality, character, and confidence will all begin to shine through.

For followers of the farm, this is a lovely time to keep up with updates. For prospective buyers, it is also a chance to see the next generation developing in a calm, well-managed herd environment.
