The #2 wether easily slots himself into the first position in my opinion. He is the thickest made, best balanced, and most complete of the class. He offers more width down his topside and excels the others by being the thickest rumped and widest pinned. To be more ideal, he needs to be straighter topped and shallower through his front.

#3 is the tallest fronted, most extended sheep in class. She has good length of body and appears to be long enough in her hindsaddle. From the profile, her loin sets somewhat low in relationship to her rack and hip. To place higher, she needs to be deeper flanked, thicker rumped, and wider pinned.

Third Place:  1

Entry number: 1354

The #1 lamb is a more moderate framed sheep as compared to the top pair. He stands square on his feet and legs, and has some expression of muscle. He simply needs to be better balanced to move up in placing today. He lacks the extension, levelness, and balance from forerib to flank to win this particular drive.

Fourth Place:  4

Entry number: 1423

The #4 sheep is another one that is impressive for the extension and elevation of front. This ewe is very expressive in her leg and stifle from the rear view. Studying her down her top, she appears to be the thinnest in condition. She needs to be more correct in her topline, squarer rumped, and deeper flanked.
