Small Footed
"Small Footed" refers to livestock that, quite literally, have smaller feet.
It's akin to wearing smaller shoes - you might look sleek and dainty, but it can be tough to maintain balance and durability. Animals with small feet might face similar challenges, as these could potentially reduce their overall sturdiness and longevity, especially when it comes to breeding animals.
Furthermore, small footed animals tend to be 'frailer boned', contributing to a delicate bone structure that may further detract from an animal's balance. So, when you hear 'small footed', think of animals that, while possibly refined in their appearance, may face challenges in stability and long-term durability.
