Crestier
"Crestier" refers to animals, often livestock, which have a more pronounced or prominent crest - the upper part of the neck. In the context of livestock evaluation, a "crestier" animal, particularly a male, often demonstrates more masculinity. The term is often used in the evaluation of bulls, where a pronounced crest can signify greater virility and robustness.
However, in females, a crestier appearance might detract from their femininity, potentially reducing their perceived breeding value. As such, a crestier heifer might be viewed as less desirable due to its less feminine appearance.
It's important to note that this term is largely used for aesthetic evaluations and may not have a significant impact on an animal's overall health or productivity. While a more prominent crest can signal increased masculinity in males, it does not necessarily indicate greater overall health or productivity.
