The following is research that was published on my personal website circa 2006.>>>>>>
In various venues on the internet, on a number of occasions, it has been stated by an importer of Saltaire Platinum 2708 semen, (thus repeated by others without benefit of herdbook records), that the untested/unproven supposed polled "mutation" of Godstone Esmeralda 10531 is substantiated by the assumption of her polledness being homozygous, based on her calving only POLLED progeny by non polled bulls. Below is the calving record of Esmeralda as copied from the UK pedigree site which shows that information to be absolutely false.
