Evaluating Degree of Muscling
 Center

| Too Narrow |
Good width |
Center width of the hams should be wide and expressively
muscled. The white pig on the left is too narrow through
the stifle area of the ham. Notice that the widest
part of this pig is over its top. The black pig on
the right shows good width and muscle expression through
the center part of its ham.

| Too Narrow |
Good width |
Not only is the white barrow on the left narrow
through the center part of the ham, but is also very
narrow between its rear feet as it stands and walks.
The black barrow is very wide based, providing additional
confirmation that it is heavy muscled.
