"Honest in breeding condition" is a term that describes a breeding animal - whether it's a cow, ewe, or doe - that's got just the right amount of body condition. Not too fat, not too thin. It's usually a good thing because animals that are too heavy can have a hard time getting bred on time.

But, there's a catch. If an animal is naturally harder and shallower bodied, it might be thinner and look like it's in honest condition just because it's less efficient. This could be a downside, because it might be harder to keep such an animal in good shape once it's out in the pasture. So, while being honest in breeding condition is usually a good sign, it's always important to consider the whole picture.
