Placings 3,6,5,1,2,4

Three is placing over six for body capacity. She has more depth and width. In general appearance she is more level in the rump from hips to pins. She will yield a more correct rear leg set to six as she is slightly over angulated.

Six is placing over five for her advantage in dairy character is sharper and more angular throughout. In general appearance she has the advantage in levelness in rump from hips to pins.

One is placing over two for her advantage in general appearance having more stature in the front end and is more level in the topline in the loin and the chine.

Two is placing over four for her advantage in general appearnce being more correctly angulated on her rear legs when viewed from the side. She has a little more stature in the front end.

Placing 3-2-1-6-5-4

In our Mini Nubian dry yearling class, #3 is placing over #2 for her advantages in dairy strength.  She is sharper withered, more prominent of vertebrae, more incurving in her thigh, and carries less flesh.  As for general appearance, she is smoother blended from neck into shoulder and shows more length and extension to brisket as well as naturally having a more correct placement of fore leg underneath the center of the shoulder.  She is straighter and longer over her topline and longer and flatter in her rump.

#2 and #1 are a close placing, but I am going with the body capacity advantage in #2.  She is simply much wider in the chest floor, deeper in her heart girth, and shows a lot more depth to rear rib and barrel development.

#1 is placing over #6 for her advantage in general appearance.  She is less prominent at the point of shoulder.

#6 is also placing over #5 in the general apperenance category.  She is longer in the topline and flatter in her rump.  She also has a more correct placement of foreleg off the center of the shoulder in side profile and as a result has more extension to her brisket.

At the bottom of the class, it is a close placing, but when reviewing points of general appearance, I do prefer the more correct set of rear leg of #5 in comparison to #4.  #5 also stands higher at the withers than at the hips when comparing her to #4.
