I placed this class of Jersey cows B-C-A-D. In my top pair, B places over C with her advantage in overall dairy character. B is more angular in her frame while being deeper in both fore and rear rib and displaying more body capacity, particularly in her mid-section. In addition, she has more openness throughout. B also stands on the most correct set of feet and legs. She has a more desirable set to her hock and is cleaner and flatter in her bone structure. B also has the widest and highest rear udder in the class. However, I give C the advantage in being longer in her fore udder and having a slightly more desirable front teat size.
In my final placing, A places over D for possessing a more correct mammary system. She carries her udder higher above the hock and has a tighter, more correctly attached fore udder and is also higher and wider in her rear udder. Furthermore, A is deeper bodied and more open throughout. D lacks overall dairy character, angularity, and strength of udder to place higher.
