First Place:  3

Entry number: 1276

Exhibitor: Sheepsnpygs

State: OH

Sheep name/number: Tesla

Breed: Shropshire

3 Finds his way to the top of this class for me because this sheep is easily the most correct in terms of muscle and balance. He may not be the most powerful of the top 3 but I deem all three acceptable in muscle and tie into his balance. This sheep is the most correct in his ribcage and chest floor. He is the shallowest chested, most up fronted sheep that is the longest hindsaddled and best in terms of his hip design. He brings these traits forward with being ample in base width and very acceptable in terms of bone. Nice place to start this class of 4.

Second Place:  2

Entry number: 1167

Exhibitor: gonefishin1

Sheep name/number: Sheep 0002

Breed: Medium wool

The sheep in second strikes me as very powerful in terms of his topside and rear view. This sheep has shape through his stifle and is very wide structured. He is level in his topline and square hipped. He is second for me beacuse I find a few more holes in terms of balance and structure. The biggest place I would like to correct his hind leg structure as he bows out in his hock. Also, this sheep gets a touch deeper chested, lower tieing in his neck and he doesnt match the other three in terms of bone.

The sheep in third first appears powerful as you study his bone and rear shot. He has some shape jumping behind his rack and he is stout enough boned. His problems for me come in the fact that he is the earliest maturing, quickest patterned of the set and He needs to be redesigned through his shoulder and front 1/3. He gets too coarse and open in his shoulder and he is the deepest chested of the 4.

Fourth Place:  4

Entry number: 1297

4 is a better balenced cleaner fronted sheep than that of 1, he is smoother in his shoulder and more parallel in his lines. He just needs to be much more powerful to rival this set of 3 ahead of him. He is plainer through his stifle and the narrowest & flattest bodied of the set,
