of-the-stall
A stall or enclosure where animals, particularly cattle, are kept and fattened; by extension, refers to an animal (especially a calf) that is raised in such a location, hence a 'fattened' or 'stall-fed' animal in sacrificial or feasting contexts. The term primarily refers to a physical place of fattening but is sometimes used metonymically for the animal itself raised in such conditions.
