Star Five

The Star Five name reflects its Santa Gertrudis heritage. Each point of the star represents an essential focus of beef cattle breeding: fertility, milking ability, gain-ability, conformation, and gentle disposition. The Star Five Program adds value to Santa Gertrudis influence cattle by recording vital breeding information. The Star Five Program will record general pedigree, performance and other breeder provided data. This information will provide a marketing avenue for program participants. Participants in the program are breeders of purebred or commercial Santa Gertrudis influence cattle.

The objective of the Star Five Program is to create an avenue for the participants to increase the demand of the Santa Gertrudis purebred and Santa Gertrudis cross cattle by improving the marketable product through perception, acceptability, management, superior genetics, performance, marketing and records.

Star Five cattle are progeny of a registered Santa Gertrudis bull or a registered Santa Gertrudis cow. There is no specification for the other member of the breeding. The program is approved by Santa Gertrudis Breeders International and Star Five cattle may be recorded as such with the association. Star Five cattle are at least 50% Santa Gertrudis but may have additional Santa Gertrudis heritage, up to and including straight bred.

Two options are available for cattle to be eligible for entry in the Star Five Program.

Option 1: Eligible cattle must be from one registered Santa Gertrudis parent, bull or cow. Offspring is a first cross and is eligible for a Star Five recorded paper and can also begin the program for grading up to purebred status. These cattle do not need to be inspected by a representative of the association. A fee of $5.00 per animal will be charged for recording and a paper of record will be given to the owner.

Option 2: Offspring derived from a non-registered purebred herd base, bull or female:

a) A representative of the association, CSR or VCP, must have the opportunity to visit the ranch management program and view the base herd from which the offspring derived.

b) CSR or VCP must inspect the offspring before recording these animals into the Star Five Program. CSR or VCP must inspect the offspring before recording these animals into the Star Five Program.

c) A fee will be charged to cover the inspection and recording.

Breeders who sell Star Five cattle may have the paper of record transferred to new owner for a fee of $2.50 per animal. Transfer forms are provided on the back of each paper of record. Star Five cattle may transferred at the time they are recorded by completion of the "Transfer on Entry" portion of the recording application.

Participation in the Star Five Program is open to ANY ACTIVE OR JUNIOR MEMBER OF SANTA GERTRUDIS BREEDERS INTERNATIONAL.
