4th place:

Entry #4 - Country Dreams Rosebud

 

 

Reasons:

A seven year doe in First place, an up standing doe with strong feet and legs with dairy character in the longer leaner neck that blends into the brisket, than we find in the eight year old doe I have in second, even with First place animal not having the more desirable size of the teats, she has the greater delineation of the teats from the udder, with a strong medial suspensory ligament that exhibits a clear delineation of the halves of the udder. She is yielding width in the escutcheon to the doe in third.
It's the more angular body when viewed from the side and a stronger medial suspensory ligament of the doe in second place that is placing her over the Third place doe.
The Third place doe, a six year old that has the advantage of the wider escutcheon over the two who stand above her but not the dairy character that I can see to
carrier her above them today.  It is the depth of the body going back into the flank, the length and width of the fore attachment, the more correct set to the rear legs when viewed from the side, that is put Three over the doe standing Fourth.

Fourth must be commended for her capacious udder. And in her turn not the dairyness to go any higher in this class
