[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1684205, member: 12607"] That pedigree brings back memories... He'd be a halfblood Fleckvieh - son of that great old full-Fleck bull ABR Sir Arnold G809, that was a 5-trait leader in his day (CED, BW, WW, YW, CEM). Double shot of Signal on the bottom side - MGS and MGGS through Alpine Polled Proto, with Parisien (ASA #1) back there, too - two of the 'big name' early fullblood Simmental sires, and a really good early American purebred(APP). Would probably make a big, heavy-milking cow... but color dilution and spots would be strong likelihoods. Certainly not a 'heifer bull, and he probably would not be what most folks would want today... I'd probably look at him as 'going backwards' on a lot of traits (growth, marbling, ribeye, API), so... no, I probably wouldn't use him. But somebody might. I used a full-sib and a couple of sons of G809, and had an Alpine Polled Proto daughter whose influence (and color dilution gene) extended throughout much of my herd, 30 years after she was born.
