I place this class of aged does C, B, A with C having 1st place udder.

C is placing over B for the advantage she has in the mammary system and in being in milk at this time. She also has an advantage with being more level across her topline. She is the oldest doe in the class and should be commended for maintaining strong pasterns at nine years of age.

 

B is placing over A for being stronger in dairy character and general appearance. She blends more smoothly in her shoulders and has a longer, leaner neck.

 

Entry A should be commended for her width between the hocks.
