Littler descends from an originally German family, which has supplied K.I. Samen with various good breeding bulls in the past, such as Geronimo - and more recently, Jacques. The Ginster line owned by the Aalbers family (Batenburg) is characterised by well-balanced cows capable of achieving high lifetime production. The youngest generations go a step further in terms of great component percentages. Littler's dam is a half-sister of Ginstream, who is now being used as a breeding bull. She far exceeds the herd average yield in her current 3rd lactation, a performance that typifies the Ginster line. This background and the somewhat unusual pedigree of his sire and maternal sire combine to make Littler a bull with very interesting credentials, also in part for his aAa code 513.
