These three pictures show lambs that are light muscled,
average muscled, and heavy muscled. Note the differences
among these lambs in thickness through the center
of the leg and base width. The heavy muscled lamb
on the far right shows the muscle shape that is desired,
being extremely thick through the leg and having a
square, wide top shape.
