I place this class of four year old mini-Nubian milkers B, E, A, C, F, D with B having the 1^st place udder

B places over E for her strength in general appearance. She is more level across her topline and rump. She also has a stronger attached and higher mammary system.

E places over A for being stronger in her feet and legs and tighter about her front toes. She also has a mammary system advantage and carries her udder a little higher above her hocks.

A places over C in having a more ideal mammary system shape with more balance and symmetry. She also is wider and fuller in her rear udder. In body A is a more wedge-type doe with flatter bone and more width across her rump.

C places over F for having more rear leg angulation and for being less steep in the rump.

F places over D for being in milk over a dry doe- both does are strong in dairy character with correct sharpness and angulation.

D is a very correct doe with uphill stature and should be commended for her smoothness of blending. Would like to see her freshened and in milk to place higher in this competitive class of milkers but still a very nice doe.
