Real nice, Mike. This one (my favorite) should look incredible after it sheds. That's gotta be one of the coolest aberrant patterns I've ever seen in my opinion. All of the abstract shapes are so nice and evenly distributed on it..

Agreed. It does have a type of pattern you don't see too often. I remember seeing another one like it a few years ago. The key to making one like this is by having that wide stripe in the genes combined with the aberrant pattern. Aberrant patterns like that are not uncommon, but having wide white markings in the pattern is, because most people don't breed wide striped Cal kings.

The addition of the wide-stripe gene does seem to make very good sense for producing those types, Ross.....

I have never been all that excited about some of the aberrant patterns, but that swirly, "lava lamp" pattern is pretty dang sweet.

They are all very nice Mike. That aberrant one that everyone likes is pretty cool. I also like the wide striper.
