When we describe an animal as 'bigger bodied', we're referring to its center body, and not just about it being generally large or heavy. It's as if the animal carries a little more substance in its middle, like having an extra room in its 'house'.

There's a certain robustness, a little extra 'oomph' in that area, and it stands out.

In the context of both breeding and market livestock, a bigger bodied animal means it has a more substantial center body compared to the others. It's a relative comparison, but in the complex world of livestock judging, this detail can certainly tip the scales.
