Placings: F C A B D E H G

F excels the class in mammary system, particularlyis rear udder width andteat size shape and placement over C. F also excels C in being stronger in the front end assembly, with elbows held tightly against the body wall

C is placing over A for her greater area of attachment and capacity

in mammary system. She also excels in strength of topline being straighter in back particularly from wither to hip

A is placing over B in her turn for being higher and fuller

in rear udder, and up in the escutcheon arch. A is also stronger in the front end assembly with the elbow held more tightly to the body wall.

B is placing over D for better overall balance symmetry and attachment

of the mammary system. And in top line being stronger in the chine

D is placing over E for her strength of bone, body capacity and smoothness of blending of neck into shoulder assembly

E is placing over H for her evidence of productivity and tighter toes

H is placing over G for her height and openness in to the escutcheon arch

G is to be commended for her strength of brisket and bone overall

I place this class of mini-Nubian two year olds F, A, B, C, D, E, H, G with F having the 1^st place udder.

F is a strong, top winner of this class for me. F places over A for her advantage in body capacity- she is a wider, deeper bodied doe. She also has an advantage in mammary system- having a higher, wider attached mammary.

A places over B in a close placing as these does have trade offs for me. A has an advantage today over B in dairy strength- showing us a longer, leaner neck and bone pattern throughout. She is slightly more level across her rump as well. She will grant some body depth to B.

B places over C for her strength in feet and legs- standing on stronger/higher front pasterns and having rear legs that face more directly forward. In mammary she also has an udder that is more symmetrical/balanced with teats that are more correctly placed inward on the udder floor.

C places over D for being more level across the rump and for having more dairy strength and angularity.

D places over E for having more mammary system capacity. She is also a larger doe with more body capacity.

E places over H for being freshened and in milk- showing us a mammary with the capacity to milk well over a dry doe.

H places over G for having a longer and more level rump. While she’s not currently in milk she makes up for the mammary points in dairy strength over a doe that could have stronger mammary system attachments and overall udder shape.

I would like the commend G for her flatness of bone.
