GUERNSEY — C D A B
C starts this exceptional class of Guernsey cows and wins easily over D. C overpowers D with an enormous advantage in strength and capacity. She is longer, deeper, and wider than D. C is also much higher and wider in her rear udder attachment as well as more powerful through the front end. I grant that D is leveler on the floor of her udder.
In a close middle pair, D places over A because of her femininity and dairyness. D is longer in her neck and has more breed character about her head. She is also deeper in her rear rib and cleaner through the hock. Still further, D is leveler on the floor of her udder and longer and smoother in her fore udder attachment. A keeps this a close pair because she has more length of frame and width of chest and is more uniformly wide at the top of her rear udder than D.
In the final pair, A places over B because she stands on a straighter set of rear legs as viewed from the side. A is also much cleaner through the front end, longer in the neck, and freer of excess flesh through her hips, pins, and thighs. I grant that B has a tremendous edge in depth and openness of rib, but I left her last because she doesn’t show the same sharpness and cleanliness as the other cows in the class.
