Comments:

This is my class of Intermediate bucks placing 1 over two for his Dairy Character showing greater angularity throughout more general openness and is freer from coarseness. In General Appearance he excels in a more desirable rear leg set being more correctly angulated thru the hock when viewed from the side. He will grant depth of body to the buck standing second to him.
 
In his turn 2 over three in General Appearance showing a more uphill appearance being higher at the withers than at the hips. He appears to have a longer bone pattern throughout. In Body Capacity he excels in greater length of body as well as increasing depth of body back towards the flank. He is deeper and wider in the hearth girth with greater spring of rib.
 
Three over four today in Dairy Character. He excels in great angularity throughout, more general openness, and is freer from coarseness. In General Appearance he shows a more levelness  in the area of the loin. He will grant to the fourth place animal his depth of body and the forth place buck will be commended for that depth in the barrel.

Comments:

1 over 2 for being more upstanding, straighter in foreleg and higher wider in the escutcheon. Sharper in the withers and flatter boned than 2.

2 over 3 in body capacity. He is longer, wider and deeper bodied than the buck in 3.

3 over 4 for more correct feet and legs. He is stronger in the fore pasterns, wider in the chest floor and stands more true from hocks to ground than 4.

I do commend 4 for the strength of his topline.
