"Low slung" is a term you might hear about sheep or goats, and it's all about where the neck meets the body. Ideally, you want a sheep or goat's neck to attach high up on their shoulder - it gives them a good, balanced look.

But a "low slung" animal's neck ties in lower down on their shoulder. It's kind of like they're wearing their necks like a low-slung backpack. It might not seem like a big deal, but it can throw off their overall look and balance, making them seem less high-quality. So, when it comes to necks, higher is generally better!
