Raven Night is an example of good selective breeding results getting the improvements of the best from both parents. Raven sports a rich,non-fading true black fleece consistent from nose to toes. The crimp style is a low amplitude, high magnitude crimp sporting fineness with density. The features we like best about Raven are the consistency of color and character though out the fleece. We were surprised by his 2011 histogram representing not only a finer fleece than his cria coat but more consistency as seen in his SD=4.8.
The minimum fiber diameter was 21.4 and the coarsest was 24.5. Considering that the average is 21.9 you can see the weighting of his fleece is the lower micron. Looking a little closer at these numbers and you can see that his fleece has substantial uniformity and very low mendulated fibers.
His pedigree, Mondavi, Neruda, Shackleton, Kodiak, Caballero Andante, Knighthawk of KPR, and the King's Ransom are well expressed in Raven through conformation, fleece, and disposition. There is a grand future in this boys breeding career.

Good conformation, with a good handle, but lacked the density of the first place alpaca.
