What does Genesis 30:42 mean?

But when the weaker animals were mating, he didn’t put out the branches. So the weaker ones went to Laban, and the stronger ones ended up with Jacob. Genesis 30:42 - Modern Text Bible

(Jacob’s plan means he gets the best animals, while Laban gets the weaker ones. He’s stacking the deck in his favor.)
