We are 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 & phenotype, production of multiple grey champions, & 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, & 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 & white fibers, HE IS GREY-FIBERED! This may also come from his dam, Shades of Grace, who has a strong grey pedigree starting with two grey parents & following back to importation.
Between his dam and sire, they amassed 29 championships (19 for Jacob Black & 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 & 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's offspring joined our 2025 show string & are already bringing home blue ribbons. Showtime is continuing to produce impressive grey offspring! Both in classic grey & modern grey. He is producing grey 50% of the time & almost all the time when covering grey. It is not just about color; the fiber & conformation of his offspring are consistently stunning & fine. Irish Meadow’s Naomi had a 13-micron fleece! The style, organization, brightness, & uniformity are all adding to that stunning fleece.
