What does this term mean? I hear it more all the time and dont really know what they are refering to.
Thanks JHH

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the term soggy came from the feedlots. To them it was kind of like fleshy. An end results of a pre conditioned steer or something. But when people use it in purebred cattle its just heavy muscled, deep bodied easy keeping cattle that just look like they have meat on their bones.
Edit- to me a Texas Longhorn (with exception to Ryan's animals) would be the opposite of soggy.

cross_7-
Your definition, along with CPL's, is as close to describing a solid, terminal-type, well-fed and developed animal as you can find! The best term that I can apply to that individual is... well...ah... 'SOGGY!" Picture a large, wet beach towel 'chugged' down on a wet shower floor! Add a head, four well-positioned legs and a tail - and you have. . . "SOGGY!"

Here, we use soggy and sappy interchangeably, when talking about calves, like "Number 34 has a beautiful soggy/sappy calf". We dont use the term for anything older than calves.
Basically it means the fat little butter balls whose mums have got tons of milk. That run around with milk all over their faces.

I know of a lot of old breeders who refer to their bulls as 'soggy'
Personally I've heard the term sappy more often, but as Keren said, it's used quite interchangeably.
A lot of agents especially love using these terms.
