The 4 lamb is the easy winner for me. Simply the most correctly structured, best balanced lamb in the class. She is very smooth fronted, good ribbed, and square on her feet and legs. To be more ideal, she could blend better at her hip-loin junction.

2 is my choice in a close middle pair. I prefer him over the heavier muscled third place lamb as he is better designed from the profile. He is leveler and more correct through the rump, and smoother and neater in his chest and shoulder. He needs to be heavier structured, and balance better from flank to flank.

The 3 lamb is without a doubt the heaviest muscled lamb of the class. He has a big top and is very expressive in his leg and stifle. To move up for me, he needs to be more correct in his topline, neater chested and shouldered, and be more expansive in his center body.

1 is another powerful lamb in terms of muscle dimension. He has a wide top, and plenty of shape in his leg. He simply needs to balance up better on the profile, and needs to be trimmer conditioned.
