[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 733351, member: 7999"] In regard to the article 5 Rivers used to be associated with something called 5 Star, which was associated with Magness Cattle in Colorado. They produced Limi, angus and Lim Flex Bulls and had some type of marketing agreement where they would buy back the calves. But they were trying to get a supply a of feeder cattle for their feed yards and packing plants that met the description in the article. They would sell you a limi or angus bull or if you had a cross bred or other breed cow herd they would sell you the limiflex bulls and it would guarantee that the calves would be at least 25% Limi and 25% angus. (I believe this is the theory behind most of these composite bulls within breeds like Balancers, Mainetainers, Limflex, etc.). I haven't seen anything on the 5 Star stuff lately, it may have gane away. Maybe someone else knows more about this than i do. I guess they still have a website: [url=http://www.5starcattle.com]http://www.5starcattle.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
