You can determine parentage of a calf if you also have DNA on the parents.
You cannot tell relative breed % in any animal work any test.
Correct. BTW we are taking a different approach to our problem. The original owner of the bull has DNA on what is NOT supposed to be a 1/2 brother to the bull in question. If DNA proves ANY family relationship at all then we will know there was in fact a Gelbvieh in the woodpile
As I understand it, not every DNA test can help with correlating more distant relationships to a common ancestor. For example, Igenity requires sire / dam info. There is, however, one test I'm aware of that MIGHT be able do something with cousins / aunts / uncles / half-sibs / etc.
Drop me a note and I'll give you a call.
