JERSEY - ADCB
A starts the class of Jerseys with the cow that has so much frame, capacity, width of chest, and depth of heart. She also stands on the most correct set of feet and legs in the class. I do grant that D does have a little more height and width at the top of that rear udder.
D places over C on overall mammary system. She has a higher, wider rear udder and more bloom of udder. Furthermore, she is more level on the udder floor and her teats are centrally placed on each quarter. However, I do admit that C is more nearly level from hooks to pins.
C places over B having a longer, smoother fore udder attachment along with more height and width to her rear udder. She also has more strength and width throughout, having more width of chest, depth of barrel, and being wider across those hooks, pins, and thurls. I grant that B is tracking straighter on her rear legs when viewed from behind. I am placing B on the bottom because she lacks the width, depth of body, length, and smoothness to her fore udder compared to the 3 cows above her.
