Starbased Nike is a stunning Texas Longhorn cow bred and raised by my good friend and neighbor, Dr. Ron Martens. She is sired by my fantastic herd sire Starbase Commander. Her dam, X Club Star, is a daughter of X Star, a bull I bred and raised. Nike was in the Club 40 (Over 40″ TTT on her one year birthday) and measured 71.75″ TTT on her second birthday. Right now I believe this is a record two year measurement. At the 2018 TLBAA Horn Showcase she won three First Place Bronzes: 72.5625″ TTT; 85.75″ TH; 191.875″ Composite. She has hit another milestone measuring 80″ TTT at only 2 years, 8 months and 17 days and was 83.375 at 3 years, 6 days. She was 90.5″ TTT at the 2020 TLBAA Horn Showcase. Nike’s first calf is a heifer sired by Lucchese Star; and born on 04/22/2019. Dr. Ron Martens and I are now partners in the ownership of Nike. A sincere “Thank you” to Dr. Ron for sharing this wonderful cow with me. We flushed Nike to The Beast and have two embryo heifers on the ground, Nike Star Tobiano and Nike Star Overo. They are both gorgeous.  Nike now has a fancy bull, Star Stryker, sired by my tremendous brindle bull Rev Up the Stars. She is marching right along with her horn growth and we think she will be another on to reach the magic 100″ mark. Breeding plans will be announced soon. (Picture taken 07/27/2020)
