I understand about talk to the breeder about this animal, but if the numbers you are say in accurate 1000 mamma cows and 600 commerical cows, how can he remember this ONE bull, It's DAME which has only had 3-4 calves.
I can remember an old fella by the name of Barney Carter. He was in his 80s when I met him and I was 14. He was selling out his herd of registered Herefords - which the dispersion lasted several days and numbered close to 1000 lots. But you could mention one of his cows to him, at random, and he could tell you about every animal in their 5 generation pedigree, in detail, and do it all from memory!
Now, I'm sure I couldn't do that - and apparently you don't think you could either - but you don't know what this breeder knows about that bull without ASKING HIM!
