A superb ewe. Great rump muscling.  Deep & thick leg muscling that goes further down the leg.  Note the overall wider appearance that fully muscled legs provide.

A good ewe with respectable meat characteristics.  Notice her hips are wider, and her leg muscling thicker with muscle starting to fill the crotch.  (Apply this standard to ewes 1 1/2 years and older, NOT to ewelambs!!)

A normal unimproved ewe. Note the lack of meatiness in the rump and legs, and the narrowness in the hips.

Narrow, high shoulders lacking muscle.

An unacceptible neck, however the shoulders have nice width.

A decent neck

Three unimproved backs, narrow & lacking muscle.

A fully muscled back on a superb Stora Armott ewe.  She also has superb meaty shoulders, wide hips, and a fully muscled rump.

The above ewe is our own "Elen." Note her full rump muscling, and her shoulders which are wider than the excellent Stora Armott ewe to the right.  Elen's back muscling will fill in again after she has weaned her lamb.

Fully muscled rump and legs,reasonably wide shoulders-altho still a little narrow, but nicely rounded with muscle.   Back muscling is very good.
