[QUOTE="Hill Creek Farm, post: 155090, member: 155"] The 7777 bull was proven to have the diluter gene and I think Titan may have pasted it on to a few calves, but I don't think it was many. Also, I use Feltons Domino 774 and have had great success out of his progeny. He is one of my favorites. Feltons Ozzie, well I don't use Ozzie, but I know that a Local Felton based herd used him and got high birth weight calves sired by him. I wouldn't use him on any heifers!Feltons Mandate is a real deal carcass bull. Between Ozzie ands Mandate, as far as I know there have been NO reported cases of the diluter gene reflecting off into either Ozzies or Mandates progeny. I would say there is always that chance that the diltuer gene could show up down the road out of a Felton based animal that was out of 7777, but it would be a small percentage. My closest Hereford Breeder owns Feltons Mentor 477 and 477 has 7777 and Titan in his genetic background and out of 45 progeny, no problems. So, don't worry about this gene to much, but don't put it on the back burner either. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
