A hog with good mobility is generally a sign of what?

A hog with good mobility is generally indicative of good structural soundness. Structural soundness refers to the overall physical integrity and function of an animal’s skeletal system and body conformation. Good mobility suggests that the hog has a well-formed skeletal structure that allows for free and fluid movement without pain or discomfort, which is essential for the animal's overall health and performance. A structurally sound hog is better suited for foraging, breeding, and general well-being.

In contrast, options that may suggest poor health, high muscle mass, or old age do not necessarily correlate with good mobility. A hog in poor health may display reduced mobility due to ailments or injuries, while high muscle mass can sometimes lead to restricted movement if the muscle development outpaces structural support. Similarly, older animals may experience stiffness or arthritis, which can impair mobility. Therefore, good mobility strongly correlates with good structural soundness, making it the correct choice.
