We start this
class with the most complete lamb. Granted he's not the
longest bodied or heaviest muscled lamb but combines enough
length and muscle in a structurally sound package to win
this class very easily. We can fault 2 as not being dead
level from hip to dock but he combines the overall
attractiveness with product I look for in a market lamb
class.

Our next pair
of lambs I find to be a close choice. While entirely
different in type, I place 1 over 3 even though the
presentation (showmanship) does not exhibit all the quality
the 3 lamb possesses. 1 is superior in bone and total muscle
with nice width of top and plenty of mass in the rear.

Our 3 ewe
stands on very fine bone and lacks width down the top while
giving us plenty of length . Depth of chest is excessive for
me and, similar to the 1 lamb I placed over 3, I'd change
the neck set.

4 is the final
lamb in our class. Granted the lamb is not shown to it's
potential with legs out of position in both views and so
much heavy front in plain view. 4 stands on good bone, has
adequate length and width but just not in an attractive show
ring package. The heavy front, rolling off from hip to dock,
and wastiness in the breast plate to me makes this the last
place lamb.
