2 is an upstanding, extended fronted lamb. He is good in his bonework and wide based when viewed from behind. He needs to be smoother shouldered and leveler rumped. He also lacks the overall length and depth of body that the higher placing animals possess. He does balance better and have a muscularity advantage over the 4th place individual.
