Evaluator comments:
She is level over the topline but should be more prominent at the withers. Her rump needs to be more level from hips to pins and higher and more level in the thurls. She needs more of an arch in the escutcheon, giving her more room for the mammary. Angulation in rear legs is correct, but needs more width between the hocks. The feet toe out and are shallow in the heels and should be tighter at the toes.
Breed her to a buck with correct general appearance to fix topline and rear end.

Evaluator comments:
She has a pleasing topline, correct all the way to the rump. She has a correct shoulder assembly with the legs set underneath the withers. Front legs are straight with deep heels and tight toes. Clean and well articulated in the escutcheon with impressive width between the hocks.
Not much to change here. Maintain the general appearance she has at present.

Evaluator comments:
She is tall at the front end, but front legs are slightly ahead of the withers. She toes out on the front legs. Topline is correct but she should be more level from hips to pins in the rump. She is wide enough at hocks, but should be more refined in the escutcheon area.
Stretch and length are the main needs. Dairy strength would help her in these areas.

Evaluator comments:
A correct animal throughout. Correct front end with front legs appropriately positioned. She should be a little deeper in the brisket. In the rear end she has an adequate arch in the escutcheon. She appears to be angular and open throughout.
Use a buck that will maintain her dairy qualities, but won’t increase narrowness or coarseness.

Evaluator comments:
A doe with correct general appearance and impressive length and levelness to her rump. Shoulder assembly is tight at the elbows and continues straight to the legs. She is wide in the front with a powerful brisket. Good depth of heel with adequate tightness in the toes. She has lots of room in the hindquarters with good width at the hocks and correct angulation in her set to hind legs.
Breed her to a correct general appearance buck and pray for a good udder.
