GUERNSEY — B A D C
In this great class of Guernsey cows, B is a handy winner as she has the best udder, especially noting she has the highest and widest rear udder in the class. She uses that advantage to place over A. Also, B blends a little nicer in her fore udder than A. She also is longer in her frame. I do admit A has a bit more spring to her rib.
A goes over D in a very close placing in which I give the advantage to A on spring to her rib structure and by showing a little more dairyness throughout. In addition, A has a more defined crease to her rear udder. I do grant D has more depth of heart.
In a very logical placing, D places over C in having a more desirable teat placement and size of her teat. D is also a bit higher and wider at the top of her rear udder and has more balance to her rear quarters, noting the light right quarter on C. To tip the scales even further, D has more depth of rib throughout and tracks more desirably on her rear feet and legs. While C may be a bit wider through the rump, she lacks the quality of udder to place higher in this class.
