If you see 3 anywhere but first in this class we have some serious re-teaching of selection to accomplish our goals of making each of you more competent at selection. This medium X's lamb just over powers the class.  He is really balanced in his top and bottom lines. I will grant he is a little too round at the shoulder points for my taste but he does appear to have a wide square rack and loin, is level and square through the dock, deep in the twist, and is full through the stifle.

Second Place:  2

Sheep name/number:  Ben

Breed:  Cross

I found the middle pair 2 and 4 both with faults, however, I believe 2 has fewer faults than 4.  I would like to see less shoulder depth, longer side, longer leveler hip and more square through the pins. He is superior to 4 in depth of twist and in lower leg muscle and more full through the stifle.

Third Place:  4

Entry number:  467

I'm placing 4, third. in the class, however, I would like to make this lamb more balanced and smoother at the hip/loin juncture. I would like to raise the dock and square and widen him at the pins.  I also fault this lamb for shallow muscle, especially the lower third.

Fourth Place:  1

Entry number:  126

I'm putting 1 at the bottom of the class because the pictures are so distorted I cannot evaluate him properly. With good photography, I might jump this lamb to 2nd. in the class because he does appear to be level in the top and bottom lines, however, the rear view is so distorted I cannot properly evaluate him from the rear.

Again, I placed the class 3, 2, 4, 1 with cuts of 10, 2, 1.
