I placed this class of Sr Yearling Doelings as F-D-C-E-G-B-H-A

1.       Entry F places over Entry D in General Appearance.  Entry F has a leaner neck, sharper withers and shows good width between the hocks with her straight back legs.

2.       Entry D over Entry C in General Appearance.  Entry D shows a more extended brisket, more width in the chest floor and more angulation in rear legs when viewed from the rear.

3.       Entry C places over Entry E in General Appearance.  Entry C has a straighter topline in the chine, a more desirable slope to her rump and her shoulders blend more smoothly into the withers.

4.       Entry E over Entry G in General Appearance.  Entry E has more width in the chest floor, show a more extended brisket and a flatter shoulder blade.

5.       Entry G places over Entry B in General Appearance.  Entry G shows better angulation of the rear legs when viewed from the side and rear and a straighter in the loin in the topline.

6.       Entry B over Entry H in General Appearance.  Entry B has straighter forelegs and rear legs, and shows a more desirable slope to the rump.

7.       Entry H places over Entry A in General Appearance.  Entry H is stronger and straighter in the topline especially in the loin and wider from the hips to pins.

8.       Entry A is to be commended in General Appearance for her high and wide escutcheon area and good angulation of rear legs when viewed from the side.

Nice group of does at the top.  C places over E for general appearance, being slightly longer in her bone pattern with greater levelness over her topline; she is stronger through the chine and more nearly level from hips to pins.

E places over D for dairy character.  She is longer and leaner in her neck, sharper at the withers, and higher in the escutcheon.  In general appearance, she is stronger on her front pasterns.

D places over F for body capacity.  She has more depth and width of chest floor.  In general appearance, she has front toes pointing more directly forward.  She yields to the dairyness of F.

F places over B in her turn for body capacity.  She is wider in the chest floor and slightly deeper in rear rib.  In dairy character, she is longer and leaner in her neck.

B places over G for general appearance.  She has shorter, stronger pasterns, tighter toes, and more width between the hocks.  She is also slightly more level over her topline.

G places over A for body capacity.  She has more substance of bone coupled with greater width and depth throughout.  In general appearance, she is more uphill to the withers and straighter through the foreleg when viewed from the side.

A places over H for general appearance.  She is longer in her bone pattern throughout.  She has front toes pointing more directly forward, more depth of heel, and a more desirable angulation through the hock in side profile.  She yields to the body capacity of H, for which H is to be commended.
