We start our class with the 3 Suffolk wether as the most complete lamb in the class, exhibiting a smooth muscle pattern down the top and the most  attractive muscle viewed from the rear.  Granted the wether is not quite as level out the dock as our 4 lamb in second but  carries a deeper twist and an overall balance we don't find in the remainder of the class.

The 4 lamb places second  to our class winner lacking the style and balance of the first place lamb.  4 does not have the smoothness down the top or depth of twist of the 3 lamb.  4 narrows at the loin, is less than correct around the dock area and is shorter from flank to flank compared to our class winner.

Third Place:  2

Entry number:  88

In our bottom pair I place 2 over 1.  Granted 2 is a narrower made finer boned type of lamb but places over the 1 lamb being more correctly finished than our fat ewe lamb. Both lambs roll off at the dock and lack the overall attractiveness to place higher.

Fourth Place:  1

Entry number:  076

As you can see by the cuts this pair could easily be switched taking the superior muscle  of 1 ahead of 2.
