Ten is placing over six, in a close placing, in general appearance he is more level in the topline in the rump from hips to pins.  He is more correct in feet with both front and rear toes placing forward. I would like to complement six for his ears as he is a first generation.

Six over two for his advantage in body capacity he has more depth in the chest and carries it back to his flank. When viewed from the front he has more width throughout.

In our Mini Nubian Senior buckling class,  #2 places over #10 for his advantages in body capacity.  He is a longer bodied kid with a wider chest floor.  In general appearance he is longer in his topline and in his rump as well.

#10 places over #6 for his advantage in body capacity.  We are seeing an advantage in growth and development with more overall substance and length.

#6 is placing over #8 for his advantage in general appearance.  He is more correct in the structure of his front end, smoother in the junction of his chine and loin, and flatter in the rump (less tendency to have a raised dorsal process).  He also stands more square with the front leg more correctly placed off the center of the shoulder and the rear leg more correctly aligned with the hock underneath the pinbone.  We are also seeing an advantage in dairy strength with more openness throughout.

#8 places over #7 for his advantage in body capacity.  He is deeper in his heart girth and deeper in his rear rib.  As for general appearance, he stands on a more correct fore leg when viewed from the front.

#7 places over #1 for his advantages in general appearance.  I prefer the more correct breed type to his nose and the longer topline and rump.  He also has an advantage in body capacity being deeper in his rear rib and having more development to his barrel.

#1 places over #9 as he is more structurally correct in general appearance.  He is more correct in the structure of his topline and rump.  He is also a more open kid when referencing dairy strength.  He will grant to more correct breed character to the head and ear of #9. 

#9 places over #3 in general appearance as he shows more masculinity and ruggedness along with a fuller crop.

#3 places over #4 in general appearance as he is more nearly level over his topline.

#4 places over #5 for a more correct rump structure, more open escutcheon, and his upstandingness.

#5 will be commended for his sharp withers.
