thank you very much.....and all yall for the comments  ;D

Nice heifer.  Already setting up like a show heifer.  First 5 Star I have seen.  He clicked here I think.

Back in the day, most Star-5's I saw were sired by Horned Hereford bulls. Judges would even show prejudice when evaluating the Star-5's at shows. If it was black, roan, yellow, or even solid red, it wouldn't stand a chance aginst Hereford or Fleckvieh-sired baldies.

Then again, I'm old.

well because back when. . . in the day (before my time) the gert x hereford was the cross that handled the heat. and had the eye appeal to be a show calf. all in one along with maternal ability ect and all of the star 5s were hereford crossed and its just that some of the old fashoned judges believe those were the best versions of a star 5 and that they should all still be that way. . . even though that isnt exactly the case. but everybody knows you cant teach an old dog new tricks (talking about the judges) hope that kinda clafifies it

If you don't mind me asking..What exactly is a "star 5"?

Star 5's are a mixture of a gert and any other breed typically an english or exotic to clean there American look up a little

Thanks for the clearing that up.
