First Place:  2

Entry number: 1278

Exhibitor: Sheepsnpygs

State: OH

Sheep name/number: Fluffy

Breed: Cross

With a tight top pair of sheep that are similar in their type and kind I prefer the added balance and build of 2 over 3. Both sheep appear to br compairable in power from behind. When studied from the side the 2 sheep collects himself more in his hip design. He is leveler out of his dock and is more correct in his pin placement.

Second Place:  2

Entry number: 3121

3 is another powerful sheep that I really appreciate from his hip loin forward. His hip sorts him second for me. He is lower tieing in his loin and rounder rumped.

His bone, rib cage, and compositional correctness allow him to easily beat 1. He is bolder bodied and has more stoutness. His profile is more modern in terms of his heart and flank placement and shorter from the top of his shoulder to the bottom of his brest bone.

The blue 1 sheep is expressive in terms of stifle shape and perhaps leveler hipped. I would like to see this sheep stouter boned and rounder ribbed to compete with the two ahead of him. He is still a step up in quality from 4 skeletally.

Fourth Place:  4

Entry number: 1341

Exhibitor: 2TLivestock

State: NE

Sheep name/number: Wild Man

Breed: Dorset X Suffolk

Both sheep have plenty of lean muscle shape, I would just like to see 4 built more correct in his skeleton to work his way up any higher.
