I'm serious.
His weight is 2250 lbs.
Looks like his dams side was just out of Scotland.
See how far back his ears are set? That seems unusual. His whole head seems unusual.

I've nerve seen that image of him, but something looks a little off.

I've looked at about 1,000000000000 photos of old bulls, and he looks more like this guys to me.

I got a white animal out of an Angus X White Shorthorn X White Shorthorn.  Does that make homozygous white that can only throw white, or can the black still show up again? 
Dont get mad, it's just an opinion.

How come  you guys always try and take a shot at the angus, please don't compare  an angus bull to that German shepherd legged  bull. Always trying to say angus came from shorthorn etc etc,  every breed came from somewhere at some point.

The bull was good for his time.  Overall he's short coupled and sickle hocked.  Much better, more evolved genotypes to choose from today.

There's no such thing as homozygous white. All cattle and either black or red.  1 copy of roan gene, they APPEAR ROAN. 2 copies of the roan gene (homozygous), they APPEAR white. Remember, the roan gene is CO-DOMINANT. Your animal is hetero black AND homo ROAN.
