Soft Bodied
"Soft Bodied" is a term used to describe livestock that have a certain fullness and flexibility in their lower ribcage.
Just like a well-stuffed pillow is softer than a thinly stuffed one, a 'soft bodied' or 'soft ribbed' animal has a deeper, fuller body and rib structure. These animals typically exhibit a certain roundness and ample space in areas such as the heart and flank regions, making them appear robust and well-conditioned.
On the contrary, 'hard', 'shallow', or 'tight' are terms used to depict animals with less depth or fullness in their body and rib structure, similar to a less stuffed pillow.
