Excellent.
Yes this is something I used to do with my last lamb. It helps build the leg of lamb but it also brakes the loin. From a show standpoint it’s more harm then good. I’d I didn’t want to brake the loin he would have to be in a slope. Like all 4 feet at an angleExcellent.
The butcher I used for my lamb said when he raises up lambs he puts their feed buckets inside stacked tires to build up the hind quarters. Just putting it out there. Wouldn’t work for me since I raise them with the flock. But in single and just lamb set ups it’s something to think about. Though you may already be doing this.
The loin muscle will brake down. In a good loined sheep the loin edges with be solid and you shouldn't be able to push the sides of it in but if it gets broke down or if the sheep just doesn't have the genetics/not getting enough nutrients when you feel like loin it will feel like it has no sides and you can pretty much like grab it and feel like the bottom edge of it. I have always been told anything where the front end is like way above the back end it will break down the loin. When the lambs get walked backwards on a treadmill the platform for the front feet is a little (like I mean a few inches not very much) above where the back feet are but i figure it probably helps the loin since it's only every other day and I think them going backwards helps the loin too
So as far as I have learned, the brake of the loin is more of a show look thing. I haven’t herd of it doing anything bad to the actual loin. But as far as looks at show it’s when that have a indent in the back where the loin and hip meet. You can feel it too, so on some lambs it’s like a pause in the loin where it’s seems not at strong. Dutch had this problem
If that's what the judge said I think she was probably wrong, he literally has like a straight line where his loin/hip meet looks good to me
