STAR CREEK RANCH’S FIRST EXCLUSIVE BULL
Starbase Commander, born in 2006, is a LEGEND in the Texas Longhorn business. He is a strong bull with large straight horn72.2 inch T2T = 183 cm s that curl up nicely at the end. His skin is brownish red with dark red. We call this Parker Brown. This is a desired hair color. The color of its skin will be lighter in color in summer than in winter. His sire is the jet black bull PPG Gunmaker, his dam is Lady Dixie. A beautifully balanced cow with large twisted horns. Her sire was Dixie Joker. A great bull in his days. He has helped put the world famous Star Creek Ranch on the map.
Breeder Darlene Aldridge of Star Creek Ranch wrote about Starbase Commander:
The first bull I used exclusively in my herd is a bull I bred and raised named Starbase Commander. This bull has done more for advancing my program than any bull in the breed. He was the result of many years of studying different bloodlines and deciding just what I liked in Texas Longhorns.
The greatest factor that has driven the price of Texas Longhorns since I can remember has been horn length. An article published in the Trails magazine, official publication of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America, in 1985 about a group of seven cows dubbed “The Magnificent Seven” because of their impressive horn length and historical significance to the breed. The longest horned of these cattle, Beauty, measured 59.5” tip to tip. I bred and produced the first Texas Longhorn cow, Kinetic Motion of Stars, to ever officially measure 100” TTT which she measured at the 2018 TLBAA Horn Showcase in Lawton, OK. Kinetic is a daughter of Starbase Commander and Sequential Stars. Both bred by Star Creek Ranch. Today in 2019 there are four cows that measure over 100” tip to tip and more on the way including at least one more grazing in my pasture.
Kinetic Motion of Stars won the “Breeder’s Choice” Award in 2016, 2017, and 2018 at the TLBAA Horn Showcase. This is an award that is voted on at the event by all the breeders present at the event. I am extremely honored and proud to have this award presented to Kinetic so many years in a row.
