Reasons:
This aged doe class is started with Entry #6 in First Place a strong 5 yr old doe with spring of rib and depth of body going back into the flank, her rear udder is high wide tightly attached to a high/wide escutcheon with strong medial suspensory ligament, and that is placing her over another solid black doe in Second.

It is Second's rear udder attachment and more desirable teat size that is placing her over the doe in Third.

The Chamoisee colored doe in Third in her turn has a higher wider rear udder attachment, the udder is tighter to the body.  She is yielding size and shape of the teats to our Fourth place doe, a broken Sundgau.

It is Fourth's strong feet and legs and rear udder attachment that is carrying her over a Cou Clair in Fifth.

A strong Cou Clair doe with a long extension to her fore attachment, Fifth has a more desired teat size that is moving her above the Cou Clair standing in Sixth.

For Sixth, it is the strength of her udder attachment that is placing her over a very deep bodied doe in Seventh that does not have the balance or attachments of her udder to carry her up in this class.
