The three wether works his way to the top of this class for me pretty quick. He is the sheep that best combines his power and shape with an attractive skeleton. He's shallow through his heart and the squarest in his hip as well as his base. Id personally like to see him a tad hevier structured and stouter featured.

1 is a heavier boned sheep that, to me, ranks second in terms of power and balance. Hes bigger boned as well as big down his topside. He just needs to be redesigned in his ribcage and chest floor. He's too deep in his heart and flat in his forerib to compete from a balance standpoint.

Third Place:  4

Entry number: 1332

There is a large gap in quality between 2nd and 3rd for me. The 4 sheep shows evidence of power from behind. However he is the poorest balanced of the top three and potentially the set as a whole. His power keeps him over three in the bottom pair. He simply has more product and freshness from end to end.

Fourth Place:  2

Entry number: 1272

2 shows more evidence of a more correctly designed front 1\3. He's shallower chested and his neck sets higher onto his shoulder. He's simply the lightest muscled and flattest made sheep of the set that is the stailest in terms of condition.
