Placings 1, 2, 4, 3

One is placing over two for the advantage she has in general appearance she is more level in the topline in rump form hips to pins and thurl to thurl. One is placing over two for her advantage in body capacity she is deeper in the hear and carries it back to the flank.

Two is placing over four for her advantage in mammary there is more balance of halves from side to side. In general appearance she is more smoothly blended from the shoulders into the crops and has more fullness in the crops.

Four is placing over three in general appearance being more smoothly blended at the top of the withers.

Placing for three year old mini Nubian class 2-1-3-4

#2 has the advantage over #1 in dairy strength.  She is freer from excess fleshing, more prominent of vertebrae, and has a longer leaner neck.

#1 places over #3 in mammary system.  She shows more balance of mammary system between the halves of the mammary system criticizing #3 for a twisted mammary system.  Her attachments, both fore and rear udder, are more smoothly  blended to the body wall.  She is more level in her topline and flatter in her rump in relation to general appearance.  In body capacity, she is a wider chested doe.

#3 and #4 are a very close placing.  I preferred the upstandingness of the wither and more open dairy frame with ribs that angle more towards the flank.  In general appearance, #3 has less tendency to be over angulated in the rear leg and is straighter in the fore leg behind the knee.

#4 will be commended for her length and extension of brisket.
