Deep Twist
"Deep Twist" is like the meeting point of two powerful rivers - it's where the muscle from an animal's two hind legs converge. This area, previously called the 'cod' area, serves as a reliable indicator of an animal's muscle mass and fat storage.
Think of a thick tree trunk with deep roots; a deep twist in livestock is often associated with robust muscle development and healthy fat reserves, much like a tree trunk underpinned by strong roots. This makes it a highly desirable feature in livestock judging. After all, an animal with a deep twist not only showcases its well-developed hind muscle but also demonstrates its capacity to store energy as fat. So, 'deep twist' refers to the area where an animal's hind leg muscles meet, and a deep, pronounced twist is generally seen as a positive trait.
