Official Placing:  4, 1, 2, 3

Cuts:  3, 2, 3

 

For our class of 121 to 130 pound market lambs I place them 4, 1, 2, 3. Cuts are 3, 2, 3.

First Place:  4

Entry number:  129

Exhibitor:  Lambman87

State:  IN

Sheep name/number:  45120

Breed:  Cross

 

 

In our class where no individual exhibits the ideal I look for, number 4 tops our set as the best combination lamb with a neat chest floor, soundness, and adequate length of body. There is enough evidence of muscle in the rack and leg to win this class.  I do fault the loin shape but understand part of that is the overstretched presentation.

 

Second Place:  1

Entry number:  079

Exhibitor:  sheepboy78652

State:  TX

Sheep name/number:  Clayton

Breed:  Medium Wool

 

 

Following in second we have the number 1 wether. While being a smooth, heavy muscled lamb, the presentation does not allow us to see that muscle definition in the leg or the straight topline needed in the show ring. This lamb is deeper in the twist but also flatter ribbed at the start of the rack.

 

Third Place:  2

Entry number:  110

 

 

In third we have the number 2 ewe lamb. She's a very pretty profiling lamb that just lacks the width of top and depth of twist to place any higher. I do appreciate her clean underline, straight top and good length of body.

 

Fourth Place:  3

Entry number:

 

 

Our last place lamb is the number 3 ewe lamb. While likely hanging a good carcass on the rail, I find her a short bodied, rough topped lamb that percents poorly in the hindsaddle.
