Theoretically, breeding her to a straightforward agouti like a chestnut or opal could get you at least one baby that was clearly a steel and answer your question as to whether she's steel or not. If she was a super steel, she couldn't have, say, an opal, because every baby would have to get steel from her. But there are no guarantees with genetics; I like to joke that whatever it is you are hoping to get in the way of color is going to be the last thing you see. I think I have mentioned this one - I had a rabbit that wound up with an ongoing role in the series "One Tree Hill." She was a broken tort Holland Lop, which is an extremely common color; I'd be willing to bet that 80% of the Hollands you see at a show are either tort or broken tort. Knowing how easily rabbits can die on you, I really wanted to have an "understudy" on hand in case the unfortunate happened, but of all the rabbits born in my rabbitry during that time, not one was a broken tort! The genetics were all there, but that combination just never came up.
