Evaluator comments:
This young buck has some length and stretch. Front legs correctly set under withers. The shoulders are set correctly with the point of the elbow against the chest floor. Chest floor should be deeper and wider. He shows angularity with prominent withers. Front legs turn out slightly, but feet are good. In the rear end he has good angulation. Thighs should be flatter and more articulated. Sufficiently deep and capacious in body. Should be more level in rump.
Use this buck to get more length in does that are correct in front end. Work on levelness in rump.

Evaluator comments:
This is a young buck with strength throughout. Good set to front legs and correct front end. Deep and capacious in body, strong in front end with a prominent brisket. Strong in pasterns with desirable set to toes. Needs to be more refined and flatter in bone, giving him more dairy strength.
Breed him to does that need substance and strength.

Generation: 3
Owner comments: his ears are 3/4 drop, but when we are around, he immediately brings them to airplane mode. He has full control of them.
Evaluator comments:
Desirable width and depth in front end, but should be more prominent in brisket. Topline is a problem; needs to be stronger in chine, too high in hips and steep in rump. Decent legs all around. In terms of breed character, head needs more Roman nose and less control of ears
Topline is his main problem.
