MEET THE MAYFIELD FAMILY | BEATRIX
As promised, we’re continuing our Meet the Mayfield Family series…
Today, we’d love you to meet Beatrix, one of the lovely mums here at Mayfield Alpaca Farm.
And if her family connections sound familiar, there’s a very good reason for that!
Beatrix is mum to two alpacas you may already know from our series, Jusita and Archibald.
Born on 24th July 2015, Beatrix is a beautiful light fawn Huacaya alpaca with a gentle, kind and playful nature.
She is also a pedigree alpaca registered with the British Alpaca Society, and we’re very proud to have her as part of our Mayfield family.
You’ve already met a little of Beatrix through Archibald’s story. Unlike most alpacas, who usually give birth during the morning or early afternoon, Beatrix surprised everyone when little Archie decided to make his grand entrance at around 9:00 pm!
But Beatrix’s family story at Mayfield goes even further.
Her daughter Jusita later became a very special part of another little cria’s life when she took Olive under her wing.
So, from Beatrix came two very different Mayfield stories — one involving a rather unexpected late-night arrival, and another involving the beautiful bond between Jusita and Olive.
Gentle, playful and at the heart of quite a Mayfield family tree, Beatrix is certainly a very special lady in our herd.
Have you met Beatrix during a visit to Mayfield? If you have a photo of her, we’d love to see it in the comments!
