Bigger Pinned
"Bigger pinned" refers to the width between an animal's pin bones in the hip region. If an animal is described as being bigger pinned, it means they have a wider, or more stout, pin width.
This is seen as a good thing. A bigger pinned animal often has more muscle in their hindquarters, which can contribute to their overall strength, durability, and value. So, in judging, livestock that are bigger pinned (or stout hipped, stout pinned, more pulled apart in their pin set, big hipped, or thick ended) are generally preferred over those that are narrower pinned.
