Explain the proper way to assess muscling in sheep.

What will be an ideal response?


Degree of muscling should first be evaluated through the center of the leg for thickness. The second place to examine the lamb is width between the rear feet when it is on the move or standing. It is very important to compare base width, or width at the ground, to top width. In heavy muscled lambs, these should be equal. Other areas to evaluate when determining degree of muscling include length of the hindsaddle (the loin and the leg) and the shape over the rack (a grooved rack is desired)_
