Anyone else care to place them in the order that they like, please do so.
I would be interested in what you see that determined how you placed them top to bottom.
Thanks,

3- easily the best heifer, lots of capacity, well muscled, nice long muscle carrying down low to the hocks with very good outer thigh, deep quartered heifer. A taller later maturing type, only negative is her hair coat isn't the greatest.
5- poor photo, growthy heifer, well muscled, outstanding coat, deep chested, lighter muscled than 3, better heartgirth and capacity than 4
4- smaller earlier maturing type, could have been deeper muscled over hip, quearter could have been a touch deeper, if your placed her second instead of 5 I wouldn't have considered it a mistake.
1- best wedge of the lot very well proportioned, well muscled, long strong hip, if she was less straight hocked she would have placed either 1st or 2nd.
2- too straight on both ends, causing the pasterns to give way because the hocks and elbow are both too straight to act as a shock absorber. Otherwise pretty decent heifer, but she's a cull in my book.
