Found quite a variance in shapes length of loin and width across back, bone and strength of muscle-tone and overall movements, some were close in hocks, and weak in front pasterns in a free stand with foot shape varying a lot seems a lot of inconsistency in type may be due to introduction of several imported lines in certain cases etc. being used.
