Reasons

I placed this class of Holstein 3 year olds 4,1,3,2.

         4 places over 1 today in a close placing because: she has a more youthful rear udder that is higher above the hock, she is more dairy through the hips, pins, thighs, and thurls, she is longer from end to end, taller at the point of withers, and more stylish.

      I do grant that 1 does have a higher, wider rear udder that has more bloom to it today.

     In my middle pair 1 places over 3 in a more obvious placing because: she has a higher rear udder, an udder that is more youthful and  higher above the hock,  a tighter rear udder attachment, a more visible median suspensorary ligament, as well as a more level fore udder that has more veining.

       I did not fail to recognize that 3 is more dairy through the hips, pins, thighs, and thurls.  

       Finally, in the bottom pair 3 places over 2 because: she has more centrally located rear teats, she is more dairy through the hips, pins, thighs, and thurls,  as well as having more depth of body.

       I do concede that 2 has more veining throughout her fore udder. 2 places  at the bottom of the class today because she lacks the quality of udder and dairy character to place any higher today.

Those are my reasons for placing this class of Holstein 3 year olds, 4,1,3,2.
