Reasons

I placed this this class of crossbred swine 2413.

In my top pair of swine I placed 2 over 4 because 2 has more evidence of muscling in the rump and throughout it's long body.  The blue butt pig shows evidence of width between the hocks.  It also shows a straighter back then 4.  There is evidence a longer and set ham.  This pig that I placed in first shows a dimple above the tail which shows more muscling.  I grant that 4 has a longer neck but lacks having a straight back.

In my middle pair I placed 4 over 1 because 4 shows more muscling then 1. 4 is also longer and has a cleaner cut stomach.  4 has good feet and legs and shows muscling in the shoulder.  I grant that 1 has a wider top line but doesn't show width between the hocks. 

In my bottom pair I placed 1 over 3.  1 shows more muscling in the rump then 3.  1's tail is set higher on the rump which shows more evidence of ham.  1 has a strong front end and as you can see 3 lacks strength in that area.  I grant that 3 has a longer top line but lacks muscling.

Once again I placed this class of crossbred swine 2413.
