"Frail Featured" refers to livestock that have a more delicate bone structure and an overall refined appearance in their skeletal system.

Imagine a delicate, well-crafted piece of jewelry: it's not necessarily frail in the sense of being weak, but it is more refined and intricate. Similarly, a 'frail featured' animal has a finer, more elegantly constructed skeleton. This could include aspects such as narrower bones and a more tapered physique.

In certain animals like hogs and goats, the term can also apply to their skull shape and stoutness, reflecting the overall structure and proportion of their head in relation to their body. So, think of 'frail featured' as the livestock version of being slim, graceful, and delicately built.
