Thick Ended
"Thick ended" is a term that can be applied to all livestock, whether they're being raised for breeding or market. When an animal is described as thick ended, it means they show more muscle in their rear. This is generally considered a good thing.
Having a thick end suggests the animal has a strong, muscular build, which can be a positive trait for both breeding potential and market value. So, a thick ended livestock animal can often be a strong contender in the judging ring.
