For instance, the subject bull of this thread traces back to this bull 8 times in 5 generations:
He appears twice in each of the subject bull's grandparents' pedigrees, thus the influence isn't confined to primarily the sire or dam's side of the pedigree.
By the way, THE ARROW was actually a Line 1 bred bull.

I have a vague idea of what you are attempting to relate here, but a little bit more specific explanation would help. Are you criticizing his phenotype? Are you commenting about his (or his progeny's) potential Percentage of Retail Product on the rail? The "spring of rib" of his progeny can be addressed with concentrated selection EPD's of the dams to which he will be bred, and the same goes for his "balance, if that is a concern to you. What exactly do you consider his negative characteristics - either Phenotype or Genotype? The "no pigment" comment is over my head, I am sorry to say. Please explain that to me insofar as Terminal characteristics are concerned. You quit the Hereford breed because of -what??
