Placings:D C E H B I A G F

D excels the class in the quality of her mammary system.
When compared to C she has a wider rear udder and better teat placement.

C is placing over E for her strength of topline, being stronger and straighter in the area of the chine. In body capacity she is also deeper in the heart and chest.
E is placing over H for her dairy character, being of more flat boned and in breed character more pendulous in the ears

H is a strong doe I admire, and would love to see her when more recently fresh. She excels B today for her strength of medial as well as her strength of bone, and more correct front end assembly with greater
depth of heart extending below the elbow and extension of brisket

B is placing over I for being wider and more full into the
rear udder and her greater extension of fore udder. She also excels
I in breed character with more pendulous ears

I is placing over A for her height and width up into the escutcheon arch and in topline being more upstanding and straighter from hip to wither

A is placing over G for her evidence of productivity, with more fullness in the mammary both fore and rear

G is placing over F for her greater strength of bone and in topline being more level from hips to pins

F is to be commended for her strength in dairy character, showing us a nice wedge shape with sharp tight shoulders, increasing in width through the hips

Entry #G

I place this class of three year old milkers D, E, C, A, B, H, I, F, G with E having the 1st place udder.

A very strong pair of does to start the class. D places over E for having a longer foreudder and a slightly wider rear udder. She will grant some mammary system balance to E. D also has an advantage in dairy strength- showing more flatness of bone.

E places over C for dairy character- having a longer, leaner bone pattern with more angulation.  She is also longer and leaner about the neck and caries her mammary system higher.

C places over A for having more udder capacity as well as a strength in body capacity. She is deeper in her rear barrel into her flank and has more strength of bone- particularly about the front legs.

A places over B in a close placing. A is longer and leaner about the neck and front end assembly. She also is slightly higher on her rear pasterns and straighter on her front legs.

B places over H for having stronger mammary system attachments, with and udder held more snuggly against the body wall.

H places over I for having more mammary system capacity with teats more ideally set inward. She also is a longer bodied doe.

I places over F for her advantage of being in milk over a dry doe. I is a smoothly blended doe with uphill stature and has an advantage over F for her body capacity.

F places over G for an advantage in dairy strength- being more sharp and angular throughout. She also has a higher and wider escutcheon when viewed from behind.

G should be commended for her depth of body.
