RED AND WHITE - DABC

D has the advantage over A in the mammary system, as she exhibits a more quality rear udder, a more defined crease, and more correct rear teat placement. D has a longer, smoother fore udder attachment. D also excels over A as she shows more depth in the rear flank. I do give A the advantage of rump structure with a wider, flatter rump.

In my middle pair, it is A’s capacity to the rear udder that places her over B. She is higher and wider in the rear udder and shows more quality and venation in the fore udder. A exhibits more body capacity than B as she is broader and wider in the chest floor. I do not fail to recognize B’s femininity in the head and neck, and she is sharper at the point of the chine.

B places over C in my final pair, as she is more nearly correct in her rump structure, being wider in the rump, specifically in the pins. B also has the advantage in rib structure as she is deeper and more open in her rib and shows more capacity throughout. I do grant that C shows more symmetry in the rear quarters.
