Breanna's Comments:
This one is late again. A combination of medical things on both my end and the judge's means that March Madness gets interrupted and reshuffled to when we both can make time.
I am abstaining from comments tonight simply so this can get posted, but will hopefully be able to add more evaluations and personal thoughts tomorrow morning when I am a bit more focused and rested.
Top Participant Evaluations:
"3BM takes this class he's a beautiful representative for the Brahma breed, he's got a bold skull, even color, thick bone mass, yellow legs, and beautiful wing carriage. Personal preference I like a tab but more back but the standard can be interpreted in different ways.
The red has a brick shape, but in my opinion, he is very unbalanced, he has low wings ( which is a pain in the butt to breed out of a line ) and all that being said he's got the good color just a balance issue.
Brahma over Red for me."
-Blake Bell
"3BM is my choice between these 2. He is a lovely representation of the breed, he is a bit high set in the back, but it could be do to movement."
-Catherine Cleveland
"RM13 is my choice between the two. He drops his wings and has an incorrect eye color but he has the breed's brick shape. The Brahma is light in the body and lacks the concave sweep to the tail. He has a nice head though, the RIR head is too short."
-Jada Spiegel

Judge's Evaluations:
"3BM takes the semifinal round for me. He just has smoother feathers and a better type overall." -Judge Brian Decker
Note: Mr. Decker also is undergoing medical testing. Please be patient with us as we get through the last few days of the bracket!
