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!

Firestone now has 5 female and 1 male cria on the ground. 4 are rose grey and one is silver grey.
