[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 987774, member: 14878"] If my calculations are correct, your bull only carries 12.5% Trask blood without really digging deep. Therefore he will only pass on 6.25% onto his calves. I do not recognize any Trask lines on any of the maternal sides. Your bull's sire only carried 50% and the other was L1. Perhaps MR. Hill (or anyone else) could provide us with some Trask cow family names to help when looking through pedigrees. To say Trask bred on the top side is pretty much misleading and wrong. When one invokes such names of well known bloodlines, you have to understand it is thought that a certain level of that line's and breeder's selection pressure's propotency comes along. With your bull's %, it is at a level that will not carry much weight at all. Close breeding and closed herd selection may not be your interest, but these natural laws do not change. [/QUOTE]
