Description

Midnight Sun has been very effective at pulling black and is our fawn/recessive black son of Snowmass Midnight Magic. We couldn't have been more pleased than with this breeding outcome. This is not your average black female!
Take a mimute to click on "Sunny's" link and see what his show record, histograms and biopsy stats look like. They are superlative and put him in a very special class of his own as a light fawn. But as a black...fuggetaboutit!
Sonata has killer fiber, even as a cria.
As for mom:
2009: 17.0/ 3.6/ 21.4/ CF 100%
2010: 18.6/ 4.0/ 21.7/ CF 99.0%
2011: 19.7/ 4.2/ 21.3/ CF 98.6%
2012: 20.4/ 4.3/ 21.3/ CF 97.6%
...not too shabby.
Oh...and check out mom's follicle testing. She is very dense with an excellent difference of just over 8 mm between her primary and secondary fiber micron. You don't expect analytics like this except in the very best blacks.

Breeding Sonata to Kit Carson was a "no-brainer".

BIOPSY RESULTS:
Density: 55.6/mm

Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 11.5:1

In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 28.1 µ Standard Deviation: 4.4 µ Range: 21.9 µ to 39.7 µ
In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 19.0 µ Standard Deviation: 2.8 µ Range: 13.2 µ to 30.3 µ

Comments:
Very good density for a black huacaya female with an excellent S:P ratio and an even secondary fiber
population. The primary fiber population shows some variation though the near 40 micron reading on the
histogram could be an outlier that is of less consequence when considering the overall numbers
