Judge Ken Hibbit’s comments: “A really competitive class of black males. These two top fleeces were just really exceptional. This male is a really, really strong, beautiful male. Sizing nicely. Good capacity up front. Really balanced through his type, so I really thought these two set themselves apart as a pair up here at the top of the class. Both presenting bright, excellent, well-defined crimp and character. Linking those traits together on solid frames."
