I placed this class of Under 3 Milkers as:

N-G-E-B-K-L-M-J-A-I-D-C-F-H

​

Best Udder in this class goes to Entry B.  Entry B has a lovely globular high tight udder with a strong medial suspensory ligament that makes for a perfect heart shaped udder along with the placement and size of her teats for ease of milking and visible  from the side is equal thirds of the udder.

​

Entry N places over Entry G in General Appearance Entry N has sharper withers and smoother blending from her neck into the withers, when viewed from the top Entry N has a flatter more refined shoulder that blends smoother into her chest wall, greater width in the hips and pin bones that create good dairy wedges in Dairy Character.  Also,  in Body Capacity Entry N is deeper in the heart girth.  In the Mammary System Entry N has more extension and fullness to her fore udder and when viewed from the side, even thirds of the udder are visable.

​

Entry G over Entry E in General Appearance.  Entry G has more width in between her fore legs with toes pointing more forward, she is more level in her topline especially in the loin and has a more desirable slope to her rump.  In the Mammary System she has good teat length and diameter along with being appropriately placed on the udder floor for ease of milking.

​

Entry E over Entry B in General Appearance as she has better angulation of the rear legs when viewed from the side and a flatter bone in her rear leg when viewed from the back, she is longer in bone,  from the top she is wider in the hips and pin bones which gives her a better dairy wedge in Dairy Character.  In Body Capacity she is deeper in the heart girth and barrel.  In the Mammary  System she has a more fullness in her rear and fore udder.  

​

Entry B over Entry K in General Appearance.  Entry B has more width in between her straighter fore legs, more width between her hocks and in the escutcheon area and she has smoother blending of her neck into her withers. Entry B does grant to Entry K better angulation of the rear legs.  In Body Capacity she is deeper in the barrel which provides a better dairy wedge from the side in Dairy Character.  In the Mammary System she has a more capacious globular udder, showing a stronger medial suspensory ligament along with more appropriately teat placement.  

​

Entry K over Entry L in General Appearance. Entry K has closer toes, better angulation of the rear legs when viewed from the side, a more level topline especially in the loin, when viewed from the top her front end assembly has smoother blending of the shoulder and more width in her hips and pin bones giving a better dairy wedge in Dairy Character.  In the Mammary System she has more uniformed teat placement with a greater diameter of her teats.

​

These two does are very similar but Entry L places over Entry M in General Appearance.  Entry L has straighter fore and rear legs, her neck blends smoother into her withers and she has a more desirable slope to her rump.  In Body Capacity she is deeper in the heart girth and barrel which gives a better dairy wedge when viewed from the side in Dairy Character.  In the Mammary System she has a more desirable shape to her udder having a stronger medial suspensory ligament, better teat delineation from the udder floor and a little more fullness in her fore udder.

​

Entry M over Entry J in General Appearance.  Entry M has more width in between her hocks and escutcheon area, her toes are closer, in the topline she is stronger in the chine.  In the Mammary System she has a more capacious udder that is balanced well when viewed from the side, her rear udder is wider when viewed from the back, and more she has more fullness to her fore udder.

​

Entry J over Entry A in General Appearance.  Entry J has more width in between her front legs, has a more desirable slope to her rump, when viewed from the top she has smoother blending of her shoulder into  her chest wall.  In the Mammary System she shows more extension to her lateral attachments and has more diameter to the teats at the udder base.

​

Entry A over Entry I in General Appearance.  Entry A has more width between her hocks, a longer leaner neck, she is long in bone with a more level topline, more extension to the brisket and from above is wider in the hips.   In the Mammary System when viewed from the rear her udder is more capacious held higher above the hocks and has more fullness in the escutcheon area.

​

Entry I over Entry D in General Appearance.  Entry I has better angulation of the rear legs, more width between the hocks with a more refined bone in the rear legs, she is longer in her topline especially in the loin with a longer leaner neck.  In the Mammary System she has a more desirable shape to the udder showing a stronger medial suspensory ligament.

​

Entry D over Entry C in General Appearance.  Entry D is standing on straighter stronger fore legs with more width.  In Body Capacity she is slightly deeper in the heart girth and barrel.  In the Mammary System she has a more capacious udder showing more extension and fullness to her fore udder, longer teats with more diameter at the udder floor and stronger in the medial suspensory ligament

.

Entry C over Entry F in the Mammary System.  Entry C has a more capacious udder showing longer lateral attachments, more teat diameter and length, more fullness of the rear udder in the escutcheon area and when viewed from the side clearer thirds of the udder are visible.  In General Appearance Entry C is tighter at the point of elbow and longer in the loin, when viewed from the top she is wider in the hips and has smoother blending of her shoulder into the chest wall.

​

Entry F over Entry H in the Mammary System.  Entry F has a high escutcheon area with the udder held high above the hocks, shows equal halves to the udder and smooth blending of the fore udder.  In General Appearance she has straighter fore legs with toes pointing forward and good angulation of the rear legs when viewed from the side.  

​

Entry H has never freshened so it is hard to compete with Milking does, we are glad she participated in this class and although she  is standing last, in General Appearance she shows good width between her fore legs and hocks, her neck blends smoothly into her withers, she is long in bone, her loin blends smoothly into her rump and when viewed from the top her shoulder blends smoothly into her chest wall.
