Judging Contest - 2018 2018 Individual Judging Contest Results
2018 Judging Contest Classes Lead Officials: Seth & Breanna Lawyer
Class 1 - Yorkshire Breeding Gilts We placed the Yorkshire Gilts 4132. Within a drive that contrast in kind… when you keep build an upmost priority, 4 surfaces pretty quickly. The good lookin’, upheaded gilt covers the ring with the most athleticism as the drive wears on. Plus, she’s more genuine in her kind, is higher at her tail set and she’s got some intriguing pieces when you keep post show season in mind. If you want to switch the pair and write them 1-4, she certainly has some advantages. She’s fleshy and big bodied… but then again, that works to her undoing. I’d like to freshen her up- particularly at the top of her blade and from her shoulder forward. That’s getting awfully picky and it’s still her mass that gives her the upper hand in the middle. She comes out of a bolder blade and forearm into the more pliable center body. Couple this with her being longer hipped and getting out with more flex and reach out of her hock… she just reads more practical in her kind. Sure, 3 is stronger on her front pastern and feeds more natural shape up high, but she too is tighter in her fore rib, short hipped, and I’d like to see her cover the drive with more flex and reach out of her hind leg. Even though I would like to change her in some areas, I still easily go 3-2 on bottom. Knowingly sacrificing a bit of power, 3 is still taller fronted, more relaxed about her spine and stays more coordinated out of her hip and hind leg. Like I mentioned, 2 is the stouter one of the pair, especially when they drive away. But, power is easy to breed into one- her build becomes more problematic. I’d like to relax her about the angulation to her shoulder, pick her up at her tail set and loosen her up out of her hip and hind leg.
Class 2 - Duroc Barrows We placed the Duroc Barrows 2341. Within a two pair drive, we thought the closest decisions lie on both ends. Of the stouter, more genuine hogs, we go 2-3. When you keep in mind they both have more than enough shape and power, we prefer 2’s build the longer the drive wears on. The dark red hog is more laid back about the angulation to his blade, relaxed at his knee and we prefer this ones rib shape, particularly the lower part of his center body. Couple this with the fact that he sits down a more coordinated hind leg, and he becomes the more problem free one to start. Don’t get me wrong, 3 drops a bigger rear foot and he’s more right about the set to his front pastern, but we’d like to tip him back in the pitch to his shoulder and give him more shape to his rib. That’s getting awfully critical of a good one, and he easily gets the upper hand in the middle. The wider chested hog is better lookin’ and ties a cleaner head and neck higher into his blade- from there back, he’s got more natural shape up high and gets out with more flex and reach to his hock… It’s not an issue of power that sorts 4 out of contention- he’s got more than enough to him, we’d just like to reassemble him on both ends. Within a bottom pair of hogs that both need changed structurally, there’s just more to 4. The bolder forearmed, heavier skeltoned hog has more spread up high and when the pair drives away, he’s got more shape and turn to his lower stifle. Sure, the light red barrow is more extended up front and he’s longer hipped, but then again, he’s too straight up front, steep out of his hip and small footed.
Class 3 - Spot Gilts We placed the spot gilts 1342. Within a top pair that contrast in kind, 1 just reads with more practicality. She comes out of her sternum into the bolder, more pliable rib and this facilitates her added power up high. Plus, she’s still right in her angles, athletic on the drive and ties more correctly at her ham loin. Sure, on the profile, 3 can make things close. She’s more upheaded, cleaner from her shoulder forward and actually drops the bigger hind leg. But then again, her added look comes at the expense of center body- I’d just like to soften her up. She’s still got enough, and it’s her squareness and natural shape up high that keeps them 3-4 in a close middle. The cleaner headed, wider chested gilt feeds more natural shape up high. Plus, she’s taller fronted and longer sided. I may actually prefer 4’s hind leg of the whole drive. She’s got more set to her hock and gets out with the most flex and reach, but then again, she gets cresty at the top of her neck, she’s plain headed and I’d like to freshen her up up high. But, that’s easy to fix with feed and where she dominates the bottom pair is from the ground up. She’s stronger pasterned, more relaxed about the set to her blade and knee and she’s without question more coordinated out of her hip and hind leg and is higher at her tailset. Don’t get me wrong, the loud marked gilt is bigger backed and stouter hipped… but that doesn’t go very far without the right build to support it. She’s too forward in her shoulder, down on her pasterns and has too much set to her hind leg.
We placed the Hamp Barrows 1342- within a drive that sorts into two pairs, that’s where the closest decisions lie and it comes down to personal preference. Of the full belts that both read right in their build, there’s just more to one. He’s the stouter skulled, heavier skeleton barrow that feeds more natural rib shape out of the backside of a bolder blade and sets down on a stouter ankle. If you want to switch the pair and write them the other way, you won’t get hurt too bad. There’s no question that 3 is the cool lookin’ hog that is cleaner and more extended from his shoulder forward and he reads a bit fresher up high, but like we hinted at earlier, I’d just like to stouten him up a bit. That’s getting awfully critical on a neat one, and within the middle… we easily go 3-4. Everything just matches. He ties his neck more correctly into his blade, he’s more level designed, particularly at his tailset, and even though we’re looking at pictures… when you break down angles, 3 reads as though he’ll handle the drive with more coordination out of his hip and hind leg. Within a bottom pair that could both be tweaked in regards to build, the white forearmed hog still gets the upper hand. He’s taller fronted, ties more right out of the backside of his shoulder, and even though I’d like to level him out of his hip, he’s still longer. Plus, he’s got more shape to his lower stifle and reads as though he’d cover the drive with more athleticism. Sure, 2 is big legged and bold ribbed… but he’s a bit plainer in his kind. I’d like to freshen him up, lengthen him out of his hip and have him cover the drive with more stability behind.
Class 5 - Fall Classic Grand Drive Gilt Weanling Sift Drive We lined up the Grand Drive 1432. The York Gilt snags grand pretty quickly. It’s her build that reads with the most promise… even though we knowingly sacrificed some power, they’re weanlings and that’s not the main priority. She’s right in her angles and particularly holds the advantage when you study her hip and hind leg. She gets out with most flex and reach to her hock. Plus, in relation to the cross, she’s more relaxed about the set to her blade and drops the more coordinated hind leg. Like hinted at earlier, the belt is the stout one of the drive and some may be quick to tie into her shape and body, but that comes at the expense of confidence in her build… specifically her rear two. Even though we’d like to see more promise about her hind leg, neither one in the middle are perfect in terms of build… 4 comes out of her sternum into the bolder rib and this facilitates her added power up high. What’s even more impressive is that her added stoutness doesn’t hinder coming with a good look. Tall fronted, level designed and set high at her tail set. No doubt the landrace has some nice pieces… We actually preferred the set to her hind leg in relation to the belt. She just reads a bit straighter up front and we’d like to soften her about her center body. That’s getting awfully critical and there’s still no question she stays 3rd Overall. She just comes in less pieces and is harder to pick a hole in, in relation to the spot. She’s taller fronted, ties her neck more correctly into her blade and is more right at her ham loin. It’s certainly not an issue of shape that sorts the spot out of contention… we’d just like her to read with more practicality- not only about her rib, but especially when you study her up front.
Class 6 - Grand Drive Barrows We placed the barrows 2431. Bottom-line, the red is a good one and needs to win the drive. Starting at the ground… he’s heavy skeletoned, reads right in his angles and is square comin’ and goin’. This only lays the foundation for a big back, stout hip and he still gives ya an awesome look from the side. There’s no question that the belt that drives out of second can stay competitive on the profile- he’s upheaded, tall fronted and we actually prefer his tailset… but we’d like him to come with more feature, particularly about his skull and hind leg. That’s getting pretty critical on one that’s got some pieces that are hard to put together… and we’ll knowingly sacrifice a bit of power to keep them more complete in their kind to go 4-3 in the middle. The white rear legged barrow stays more in line his body wall, and he’s more coordinated on his rear two. From there forward, he reads more right in his composition and comes fresher out of the backside of his blade. All the while, he’s stronger on his front pastern and cleaner and more extended from his blade forward. We won’t hurt you too bad if you switch the pair and go 3-4… the Hamp appearing barrow drops a bigger hind leg and has more shape to his lower stifle, but we’d like to peel a bit off of him up high, pick him up at his pins and his front pastern. Small problems aside, we still easily go with the belt in the bottom pair. There’s just more there… He sets a bolder blade in front of the bigger cage and hip. The York appearing barrow still reads square and correct in his build… we’d just like to add more to him. Stouten him up at the ground and have him come with more shape up high.
Class 7 - Spot Barrows We placed the Spot Barrows 2-1-3-4. Initially, it is 2’s ability to combine the essentials of power and balance that make him the place to start. The dark colored barrow is fresher up top and reads with a bit more shape from his blade back. Just as importantly, he’s the clean fronted, upheaded barrow that stays right in terms of composition. There’s no doubt that the loud marked barrow in second has a notch more bone and feature. However, composition keeps him in the middle, 1’s simply the plainer fronted one that reads with more on him. These concerns can keep it close in the middle, but stoutness alone keeps it 1-3. 1 is easily the stouter featured, heavier structured barrow that is bolder in his forearm and center body. To no surprise, he too is the bigger bladed barrow that offers more hip and stifle. The barrow in 3rd is cleaner and more extended up front, but in relation to 1 he is the frailer featured barrow that simply gets out-powered. Even so, it’s still the fundamentals of build and structure that sort the bottom pair. 3 is easily the taller shouldered barrow that offers a better hip and hind leg design. He is more correct in his angles at the ground and should stay more comfortable on the drive. Now the light colored barrow is definitely opened up at the ground, but in terms of balance he sorts to the bottom. He is the low fronted barrow that is shorter and rounder hipped.
Class 8 - Duroc Gilts We placed the Duroc Gilts 4213, within a drive that contrast in kind, you’re forced to make some calls, but its functional build and stoutness that make 4 the place to start. She’s heavy skeletoned, bold forearmed and this facilitates her added power up high- she too has more turn and shape out of the backside of her blade and what makes her equally impressive is that she can still handle it on the drive. Sure, the dark red gilt is more relaxed at her knee and still gives you an impressive look on the profile, but we’d like to lengthen her out of her hip and have her come with more turn to her center body. Still, within a middle pair that can both be deemed good built, there’s just more there with 2. Not only do we prefer where she’s at on condition, but she too is bolder about her chest, bigger backed and stouter hipped. There’s no question that one has some pieces you can build around, and there are plenty of stout boars that can complement her look and skeleton, but like hinted at before, we’d like to freshen and stouten her up. But that’s getting awfully critical on one that’s got value, and when you build them from the ground up it easily goes 1-3. She gets out with more flex and use to her hock, is set higher at her tail and handles the drive with more authority off both ends of her skeleton. If you’re sorting them on power alone, then 3 can move up- but that doesn’t mean much when they aren’t built right, particularly out of her hip and hind leg. She’s steep hipped and needs more set to her hock.
Class 9 - Spot Boars We placed the Spot Boars 4123 - it's build that makes 4 the place to start. The white testicled boar is square constructed, flexible and athletic, yet he still reads with more than enough in regards to mass and bone. Especially in relation to the loud marked boar that follows him, he’s more relaxed about the angulation to his shoulder, has more set to his hind leg and he handles it accordingly. Sure, 1 has some intriguing pieces. He’s big backed, stout hipped and adding muscle certainly shouldn’t be an issue. Where we’d like to change him can create some hesitation come breeding time. He needs more set to his hock, changed at his ham-loin and should tie his neck higher into his shoulder. These problems aside, there’s not a perfect one in the middle pair, and both could be changed in terms of build… it’s 1’s breeding pieces that we’ll lean towards. He feeds more shape out of the back side of his shoulder, reads more practical about his cage and even though we’d like to give him more set, we’d still expect him to drop the more coordinated hind leg. Don’t get us wrong, the predominantly white hog ties his neck higher at the top of his shoulder, is shorter backed, more relaxed about his hock and he actually drops the bigger rear foot and hind leg, but then again, he needs to be set back about his blade, and he’s uncoordinated out of his hip and hind leg. Still, we’ll easily go 2-3 on bottom. He’s heavier skeletoned, has more turn and shape to his lower stifle and handles the looser hip and hind leg… The Poland appearing boar is still bold about his forearm and has enough power, but it’s his build that’s problematic. He’s straight off both ends and doesn’t read with much practicality.
