Although #3 caught my eye, she's also the only one standing in deep grass so it changes the perspective.

She may be a good cow down the line, but most judges start at the feet, and may never even see her capacity or strong top.
Yup and just like in the show ring there will ALWAYS be disagreement about how the judge placed 'em.KNERSIE":3kii9qic said:3 is your only real option. Feminine, clean fronted, good base width, good spring of rib, good muscle, correct with a nice next extension.
5 similar in type and kind to 3, although she hasn't got the same width and capacity of 3
1 lacks the base width of 3 and front feet toes out, not as strong in heart girth or the same spring of rib
4 lacks the femininity of the heifers above her and tends to have a reverse wedge, she has very good capacity, but the shoulder rib attachment isn't strong enough
2 Not feminine enough trough head and shoulders, heavy fronted, tail head that creeps up the spine, cylindrical body with hocks and pasterns that could do with more set.
There I've placed them for you with commentary like you would have gotten in the show ring.
+1 if you took three judges they would all likely have a different order just like I would.Son of Butch":2cfoahob said:Yup and just like in the show ring there will ALWAYS be disagreement about how the judge placed 'em.KNERSIE":2cfoahob said:3 is your only real option.
