Here is a summary of the histograms for my flock. THIS will be boring to ALL non 'sheepy' readers of this blog ... :-)
The numbers listed are ... AFD ... SD ... CV
Averages for the entire 60 samples ... 26.6 6.4 23.9 . When I first started micron testing in 2005, My flock average was well over 30 AFD. I set my goal at having a flock where AFDs were below 27 ... SDs were below 8 ... and CVs were below 28. Four years later, I still have a few girls who need to move on, but my goal looks attainable. It may be time to adjust my goal numbers downwards soon ... :-)
Here goes with the individual results. Samples were taking prior to shearing ...

Hey Bill, great numbers! Good going in building a flock of such impressive microns and corresponding fleeces! Nice to see that Two Bars is that low as well.
