hey come on derby !
do your homework, saddlers wells as a sire of sires ,you are joking arent you, he has had hundreds of attempts (probably thousands) with most of the best mares in the world and his roster of sucessful sons is woefully small.

if you really like the dynaformer , but not the $100.000 you could always try publisher, stands for a fraction of the price, good strong sort covering mostly N.H mares ,even with increased travel you would still save a small fortune and probably get most of the genes you want,

duplicating the tail female family

with all the pedigree advisers looking for "nicks" and inbreeding to superior ancestors ,why is it so rare to find mares being mated back to stallions originating from the same tail female family,- what are your views on mating a mare this way if you can bred her back to a stallion with the same 5th...
