19 Time Halter Champion in True Black! 2012 has been good to Jacob Black. Every show he went to, he was the Color Champion, and it didn't matter if it was the Futurity or Nationals. He finished 2012 with a stellar 19 halter champion banners! Jacob Black has great conformation, a beautiful fleece, and a handsome head. His true black fleece is extremely uniform with a very expressive crimp style found normally on white animals. His personality is laid back and gentle. Jacob Black started showing when he was 9 months old, and since that time, he bannered in every show he went to, with the exception of a blue ribbon at the Futurity when he was 10 months old. Jacob is not available to outside breedings. He will be an exclusive, restricted herdsire for our black program, and he will join 15 time champion Knight Rider in producting show winning blacks. Update: Jacob Black wins Reserve Dark Herdsire at the 2015 Futurity and the 2016 Futurity! That is a fabulous achievement! Update: Jacob Black's crias are outstanding, and many of them are already champions themselves!

When we first started raising alpacas, we had a wide variety of colors represented in our pastures. Now we have pastures of white and light alpacas. They are my weakness! We have decided to to develop a herd of dark--black alpacas that have the same fleece qualities of some of our elite white alpacas. Irish Meadows' Bailey is a Snowmass Matrix daughter. She is out of a black dam and so has a black gene. She has a fine, dense fleece that is bright and has the high frequency crimp style that I love. She is bred to RGR Aces Loaded By Val D Lsere for a 2024 cria!
