Easily starting
this class with the most balanced and level ram of the four, I
preferred the alignment 1, 3, 2, 4 in this class of ram lambs.
First Place: 1
Entry number:
007
Exhibitor:
Cherimy
State: OR
Sheep
name/number: Anonymous
Breed:
Wether Sire
The most
fault-free lamb in the class with the highest pin setting
sorts his way to the top of this class readily with the
other lambs having significant weakness over their toplines,
rolling off their hips or both.
Second Place: 3
Entry number:
043
Exhibitor:
AZChamp
State: AZ
Sheep
name/number: 0044 Shine 'Em Up!
Breed:
Hampshire X
While the most
expressively muscled lamb in the class is 3, he is not as
level across his top.
In a middle
decision, the cleaner front of 3 places him over the unshorn
lamb. 3 is also leveler from hooks to pins.
Third Place: 2
Entry number:
033
While the
posed, dark-fleeced lamb appears to set down with more
width; his breast bone is more undesirable and the shorter
necked lamb belongs in the bottom pair of more structurally
incorrect lambs.
Still in a
bottom pair of lambs with structural issues, the apparently
more level 2 places over the rough-topped 4.
Fourth Place: 4
Entry number:
069
4 may be the
cleaner-chested and longer necked ram, but he presents the
least desirable topline and sorts to the bottom readily.
