These numbers are getting easier to predict as I continue to "train" my hands.  This round of micron tests did not contain one single surprise for me, so I'm making steady progress.  I'm hoping my choice of rams and new ewes will help me in significantly increasing my fleece quality, as well as some confirmation issues that I'd like to see change for my flock.  Slow and steady.............
Happy Holidays everyone.........
