Rainier's Axel Cloud is the son of the well-known Emerald Farms Rincon Cloud, an outstanding grey herdsire who has put his stamp on a great number of the best grey and rose grey alpacas in the country. Axel Cloud is truly the total package if you are looking for a light rose grey herdsire! His fleece statistics place him in the most elite category sharing that distinction with very few of the most elite whites and lights. Axel possesses a truly fine -- and uniformly fine -- fleece. We only have one histogram to date; however, experienced fleece sorter/graders confirm he remains royal baby grade in every respect. Axel has very correct conformation and a relaxed personality which his offspring are inheriting along with his fine, luxurious fleece. He currently has 7 beautiful cria on the ground. Six of them are female. We have four here at Cascade Rose and three were born in 2015 on other Farms: • A medium rose grey male (Ice Pond Ramblin Man) out of a medium brown dam • A dark brown female (Ice Pond Lilly) out of a dark brown dam • A dark silver grey female (Ironic—Hidden Hills) out of a fawn dam So far, all of Axel's offspring have done very well in the showring!

Valeria is a sweet female with a quirky personality. Its not unusual to see her pronking and playing with the youngsters. She is an excellent mother. She usually breds easily and takes on the first try with each breeding. She usually gives us female cria and all of her births have been without difficulty. She always bonds with her babies right away and is a very attentive mom. Her cria grow quickly due to her excellent milk supply. Valley is one of those females that is able to produce a cria that is better than herself.
