Feminine
"Feminine" is a term we use to describe the grace and refinement of a breeding female across all livestock species, a nod to the more delicate features and elegance we often associate with femininity.
It's like assessing a painting: you're looking for specific characteristics that make it a masterpiece. In the case of a 'feminine' female, we usually notice a thinner and flatter profile at the topside of the neck, also known as the crest. Her head shape tends to be softer, more refined, almost like a finely crafted sculpture.
Smoothness is another key aspect: smoother shoulders and joints often contribute to her overall feminine appearance. Length of the neck can also play a role - while it doesn't always equate to femininity (an animal can be long-necked yet coarse), it's often observed that longer-necked females possess a higher degree of femininity.
So, when we talk about 'femininity' in livestock, we're appreciating an animal's grace, refinement, and elegance - characteristics that give her the distinct 'lady-like' appearance.
