A places over B for an advantage in general appearance.  She is more uphill to the withers and level over the topline, being especially stronger in the chine.  In dairy character, she is longer and leaner in the neck.

B places over D for general appearance, with toes pointing more directly forward, more depth of heel and greater smoothness of blending from neck to shoulders.  In body capacity, she is slightly deeper into the chest floor.

D places over C for general appearance.  She is much shorter and stronger on her pasterns, especially in the rear.  In dairy character, she is longer and leaner in the neck.

C places over E for general appearance, being longer in bone pattern, more level from hips to pins, more smoothly blended from neck to shoulders, and having greater angulation through the hock in side profile.  She yields to the strength of pastern of E.

E places over F for body capacity.  She has greater substance of bone and more width about the chest floor.  In general appearance, she is slightly stronger through the chine and straighter through the foreleg in side profile.

F places over G similarly for general appearance.  She is longer in bone pattern with greater levelness from hips to pins and a more desirable angulation through the hock in side profile.  She yields to the width of chest floor of G, for which G is to be commended.
