Comments:

One is placing over two for her advantages in general appearance. She is more uphill from hips to withers, more level from hips to pins, has a more correct set to the rear legs, and is cleaner in the knees. She also has an advantage in dairy character, having a longer, leaner neck, more prominence in the withers, and showing more angularity and openness throughout.

Two is placing over three for her advantage in general appearance. She is stronger on her pasterns and has a more correct length of pastern. Additionally, she is a more upstanding, feminine doe with more dairyness than the third place doe.

Third place is commended for her strength of bone.

Comments:

One has the advantage over two in mammary system and she will be 1st udder in the class. There is more correctness of teat placement from the floor of the udder as well as having a more correct shape to the rear udder with more width at the top of the udder. 1 also excels 2 today in body capacity with more depth at the point of elbow and more depth into the rear barrel. She will yield in general appearance to a more correct levelness in the topline at the hip.
Two excels three in general appearance with a rump that is more nearly level from hips to pins. In dairy character she has a longer neck and more wedge shaped withers. She has greater angularity throughout.

Three is to be commended for the relative capacity of her mammary system.
