WHEELER RANCH WOULD LIKE TO
THANK ALL WHO VISITED CELEBRITY
AND CELEBRITY'S PRIDE AT THE
HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW AND
RODEO...THANK YOU.
Celebrity expresses all the
essentials of Beefmasters
visually, genetically and
through performance.
Celebrity visually is straight
on the top with excellent
natural muscling, length and a
correct sheath. He travels well
and has excellent fertility.
Genetically, Celebrity is sired
by the highly proven Cavalier
and out of the Painted Tiger
daughter, By Far. The
combination of these two
individuals through Celebrity,
makes him a solid choice to work
in any program.
In the recent GeneSTAR
Tenderness 2 test, the new
enhanced tenderness test,
Celebirty earned the Four Star
rating for tenderness. GeneSTAR
Tenderness 2 identifies animals
that are more likely to produce
tender cuts of beef.
The GeneSTAR Tenderness 2 is a
DNA marker test for
two different genes, namely
Calpastatin and Calpain
1. It is therefore an
enhancement on the first
GeneSTAR Tenderness test that
only tested for the
Calpastatin gene ( the first
test is now discontinued as a
single-gene test).
The GeneSTAR 2 test measures
whether an animal has tender or
tough forms for each of the two
tenderness genes.
The results for each gene are
coded 0, 1 or 2-STAR
to reflect the number of copies
of the tender form for
that particular gene. Since the
size of the effect on
beef tenderness for each gene is
similar, combining
the test results for the two
genes produces a scale of
0 to 4 STARs. On this scale, the
higher the number
of STARs, the better is the
genetic potential of the
animal for tenderness.
Celebrity achieved the 4 STARS
for GeneSTAR Tenderness 2, the
first Beefmaster sire to achieve
this rating.
