This male is simply amazing. He has 15 championship banners, 2 judges choice awards, has won the AOBA nationals in halter, composite, and fleece, has been Futurity champion & Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year, and won the AOA Spirit of the industry award (with his 8th fleece)! And... his cria have followed in his footsteps! Proudly co-owned with Copper Star Alpaca Farm & Elf Paca Meadows. Breedings are now closed.

Congratulations and thank you to Dr. Kitt Hollister, of Howling Hill Farm, for her purchase of NeverSummer's Chenequa! Chenequa is an exceptionally beautiful female whose very first cria, "NeverSummer's Chautauqua," was the high-selling alpaca at the 2011 Futurity auction!! She was also the 2011 Nationals Grey Color Champion and the 2010 Futurity Grey Color Champion in halter and the 2010 AOBA Nationals Fleece Show Color Champion! Chenequa herself is an interesting "medium brown with black points vicuna." Her dam is a "wanna be" grey - a roaning chestnut brown vicuna with a tuxedo, sired by Lanark's Silver Charm. Chenequa's well known sire is Aladdin of KPR (BB) who also sired "Supreme Champion," NeverSummer's Black Ice (TB). Chenequa has the most luxurious fleece. I especially love Chenequa's super soft handle which she is passing on to her offspring. Award Winning Progeny: In 2009, Chenequa had NEVERSUMMER'S CHAUTAUQUA, a gorgeous MRG female out of Aussie .38 Special. Chautauqua is a 7x Color Champion and also won a Reserve Champion banner at the ABR Fall Festival in 2010. In 2010, Chenequa gave birth to NEVERSUMMER'S AMERICAN IRON, a LRG male born sired by Aussie .38 Special. American Iron is a 6x Champion and also won the Spinner's Dream award at IAO 2013. In 2011, Chenequa had NEVERSUMMER'S TULARE, a stunning BB female also sired by Aussie .38 Special. Tulare won 1st Place at IAO 2013 and brought home a 2nd Place ribbon at the TXOLAN Alpaca Spectacular in 2012. in 2012, Chenequa gave birth to NEVERSUMMER'S WINONA, a MB Aussie .38 Special daughterI Winona received 5 ribbons while on our 2013 & 2014 show strings, including a 2nd Place ribbon at IAO 2013. Chenequa was re-bred to Aussie .38 Special and ESTATES 38 CAROL, a pretty MB female, was born on 6/25/2013. In 2014, Chenequa had ESTATES CHRONOS, a handsome medium brown male sired by Chief Grey Feather, one of our fine herdsires. Chenequa's good-looking MSG male, sired by our multi-generational silver NS Magic Flight, was born on 8/7/2015.

Alpaca Country Estates is thrilled to add Irish Meadows' Peruvian Showtime to our herdsire lineup! He is exactly what we were searching for in a grey stud. His genetics, show performances, fiber qualities and phenotype, production of multiple grey champions, and the collective caliber of fleece across his progeny made Irish Meadows Peruvian Showtime impossible to overlook. Consider Showtime for your fawn, dark, and grey females and watch for more fabulous offspring. Showtime is a son of the infamous Jacob Black. He is the product of the first grey breeding to Jacob Black. This combination did not disappoint with an offspring that had a beautiful head, perfect conformation, and stunning grey fleece. His first histogram displayed a 16.4 micron, 3.7 SD, and 100% comfort factor. Showtime’s fleece is not the traditional mix of black and white fibers, HE IS GREY-FIBERED! This may also come from his dam, Shades of Grace. Shades of Grace has a strong grey pedigree starting with two grey parents and following back to importation. Between his dam and sire, they amassed 29 championships (19 for Jacob Black and 10 for Shades of Grace.) Showtime followed by taking eight banners, including back-to-back Futurity Color Championships. Both his sire and dam have produced multiple champions. Over 160 banners for Jacob Black’s offspring. Many grey and black. Jacob Black also won Reserve Dark Herdsire of the year, two years in a row. Showtime is producing multiple champions as well. Irish Meadows Crusade, a modern rose grey, won 12 banners and 18 first place awards in his first show season, Spring of 2023. Irish Meadows Momentum won 6 banners, Irish Meadows Poppy won 4 banners, Irish Meadows Paisley won 2 banners. They are all grey. Showtime is continuing to produce impressive grey offspring! Both in classic grey and modern grey. He is producing grey 50% of the time and almost all the time when covering grey. It is not just about color; the fiber and conformation of his offspring are consistently stunning and fine. Irish Meadow’s Naomi had a 13-micron fleece! The style, organization, brightness, and uniformity are all adding to that stunning fleece.
