fat animal which manifests or shows a sluggish temperament 

 may, from one standpoint, apparently be a profitable animal. 

 When balanced, however, with the other attributes of chief 

 importance to the stockman, the animal possessing such a

 to the extent of the insufficient nerve force manifested.
