Evaluating Degree of Muscling
Shape of top

The white on the left is very smooth over its top, with no shape or expression of muscle being evident. The thickness down its top is flat due to the high degree of fat cover that it possesses. In contrast, the black hog on the right has great shape to its top. The large pork chops on both sides of the backbone give this pig's top the extreme butterfly shape that is desired.
