I placed this class of 2 Year old milking does as:
H-D-I-B-A-C-F-E-J-G
Entry D receives Best Udder in this class.
Entry H over Entry D for her advantage in General Appearance. These two entries were very close in competition. However, Entry H has straighter fore legs with more forward pointing toes , in the topline she is higher at the withers giving more angularity at the shoulder, when viewed from above she has a flatter more refined shoulder blade giving a sharper dairy wedge in Dairy Character. In Body Capacity she is deeper in the barrel and heart girth and in the Mammary System she has a smoother blend to the fore udder attachment.
Entry D over Entry I in General Appearance. In the topline Entry D has an uphill appearance being higher at the withers with smoother blending of her neck into the withers, she is longer in bone, more level in the loin with smoother blending into the rump. In the Mammary system she has more extension to the capacious fore udder, and the teats are more appropriately placed on the udder floor.
Entry I over Entry B in General Appearance for straighter fore and rear legs with a higher more rounded escutcheon area, in the topline she has sharper withers giving more angularity about the shoulder and more extension to her brisket, when viewed from above she has a flatter more refined shoulder. In the Mammary system she has a more globular udder with a distinct medial suspensory ligament and good diameter to the teats at the base of the udder.
Entry B over Entry A in General Appearance. Entry B has more width between the straighter fore legs with closer toes, more angulation to the rear legs when viewed from the side, in the topline she shows longer in bone and more level in the loin, when viewed from the top she has smoother blending of the shoulder into the chest and good width in the hips to give a more visible dairy wedge in Dairy Character. In the Mammary System she has smoother blending of the fore udder attachment.
Entry A over Entry C in General Appearance. Entry A is wider between the hocks with a higher more rounded escutcheon area, in the topline she has smoother blending of the neck into the withers and in Body Capacity she is deeper in the heart girth and barrel. In the Mammary System she is has a more capacious globular udder with visible lateral attachments, more teat diameter and more desirable teat placement on the udder floor.
Entry C over Entry F in General Appearance. Entry C is straighter in the fore legs that are up under her withers with a closer toe set and she in longer in bone especially in the loin. In the Mammary System she has a stronger medial suspensory ligament showing equal halves to the udder and more extension to the fore udder.
Entry F over Entry E in General Appearance. Entry F is wider in between the fore legs and hocks, in the topline she is more level in the chine and loin and longer in the rump, when viewed from the top she has a flatter shoulder and more width in the rump to create a sharper dairy wedge in Dairy Character. In the Mammary System she is higher and more rounded in the escutcheon area with clearer halves to the udder.
Entry E over Entry J in General Appearance she is straighter between the fore legs and hocks, in Body Capacity she is deeper in the barrel, in the Mammary System when viewed from the side equal thirds of the udder are visible with smoother blending of the fore udder attachment and more desirable teat length and diameter.
Entry J over Entry G in General Appearance. Entry J is wider in the chest floor, higher and rounder in the escutcheon area, in the topline she is longer in bone especially in the loin with smoother blending into the rump, higher in the wither with smoother blending of the neck into the wither. In the Mammary System she has a more capacious globular udder showing more equal in halves with a higher udder floor above the hocks.

Entry A receives Best udder in class
The 1st place doe is very eye appealing and balanced in her general appearance. In terms of mammary she is advantaged in rear udder height and width, good extension in the fore udder, and overall balance and symmetry of the halves. She shows excellent breed characteristics and has the advantage in body capacity for her age.
The 2nd place doe has the advantage in width of rear udder and overall attachment in mammary. She is a beautiful doe that is well balanced showing excellent spring of rib and body capacity. We also appreciate her structural correctness of feet and legs when viewed from all sides. She will however yield slightly to the doe behind her in teat placement.
The 3rd place doe has the advantage in mammary capacity and extension of the fore udder. She is a long sided, deep barreled doe that really gives her extra points on the score card in terms of body capacity. She blends smoothly when viewed from the side in her general appearance.
The 4th place doe is a general appearance placing, being more smoothly blended throughout, more level about that topline, and showing more width of rump. In terms of mammary system, she has a more well defined medial suspensory ligament support. This adds balance and symmetry to the halves of her udder.
The 5th place doe has the slight advantage in capacity of mammary. For me today the defining factor in the placement is her strength in dairy character. She shows us more angularity when viewed from all sides. She is more open shaped in the rib.
The 6th place doe has the advantage in overall body capacity and smoothness of blending in her general appearance. She will yield slightly in terms of her capacity of mammary today to the doe behind her.
The 7th place doe is going to be more capacious about her mammary and wider in her rear udder arch. She has the advantage as well in structural correctness in her rear legs over the doe in 8th.
The 8th place doe has the advantage in width and depth of girth in the chine. In terms of her mammary, she has better attachments overall. She will yield smoothness of blending in her topline to the doe behind her.
The 9th place doe has the advantage in general appearance, being more smoothly blended with a more level topline, flatter thurl to thrul, and wider in the rump. In her dairy character she is sharper and more angular throughout.
The doe standing in 10th today should be commended on her capacity of mammary we see today.
