Evaluating Soundness
 Rump
Slide 26 - Evaluating Soundness (Rump): The
ideal rump design in sheep is average to above average
in length and very slightly sloping from front to back.
On the left is a short, steep rump that will restrict
length of stride and limit the volume of muscle that
could be functionally placed on the rump. The middle
picture shows a long, but steep rump, and the picture
on the right shows a level, but short rump. Slide 27
- Evaluating Soundness (Rump): This picture shows an
excellent rump that is very long and level, resulting
in good flexibility and angle to the rear leg.
