When a bull's bottom side is discussed, what information is typically requested?

Explanation:
Bottom side refers to the maternal line—the dam’s side of the family. When that is discussed, people are asking for information about the dam and her ancestors to understand what traits might be inherited from the mother’s lineage, such as maternal ability, fertility, udder quality, and overall reliability passed through daughters. So the information typically requested is the dam's pedigree. The sire's performance would relate to the paternal line, age describes the individual bull rather than its ancestry, and coat color is a phenotype, not a pedigree detail.
