Estates Sebastian's Silky Raven is a striking true black female distinguished by exceptional fleece coverage, beautiful softness & generations of championship-winning genetics. A daughter of Black Color Champion Estates Satin Sebastian & Amber Autumn Special Silk, she offers an appealing combination of fleece quality, sound conformation & proven black breeding lines.
Silky Raven's bright, soft fleece extends generously down her legs & across her belly, with attractive uniformity through her chest. Her attractive head, broad chest, balanced appearance & perfect bite complement her extensive coverage, giving her the qualities sought in a promising foundation female.
Her sire, true black Estates Satin Sebastian, captured the Black Color Championship at the 2023 CABA Classic in a championship class of 15. Judge Wade Gease praised his micron uniformity, stylish, densely packed fleece & strong conformation. These observations highlight the fleece quality & structural strengths behind Silky Raven's paternal line.
Sebastian is by 4x Champion Estates Satin Cloud's Sebastian, a son of 8x Champion Estates Satin Cloud, who was exported to Sweden. His dam, 5x Champion Patagonia's Simone, also produced extraordinary 26x Champion Estates Stradivarius. Simone is by Nishio, the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year & 2007 Reserve All-American Herdsire of the Year. This combination brings championship-winning performance & demonstrated production success into Silky Raven's immediate paternal family.
Silky Raven's dam, Amber Autumn Special Silk, is a light brown daughter of champion Amber Autumn Taylor Made. This maternal line includes Eclipse Alyst, recognized for exceptional fleece density, fineness, staple length & handle. Special Silk's maternal grandsire is Snowmass Mr Sizlin Rose, the celebrated 2016 Huacaya Herdsire of the Year, whose influence is evident in accomplished descendants such as 3x AOA National Supreme Champion Red Granites Val D Lsere & multiple Judge's Choice winner Liberty's Manifest-Destiny.
The combination of Sebastian's championship-winning black pedigree & Special Silk's influential Snowmass ancestry offers valuable genetic depth. Silky Raven brings her own appealing fleece characteristics to this family, particularly her impressive coverage extending beyond the blanket, bright softness & uniformity across her chest. Her broad chest, attractive head & perfect bite further reinforce her potential as a future breeding female. For breeders focused on black fleece quality, her individual coverage & softness are especially appealing.
With her beautiful true black coloring, exceptional fleece coverage, sound conformation & close ties to accomplished champions and influential herdsires, Estates Sebastian's Silky Raven offers breeders an exciting opportunity to strengthen a quality black breeding program.
