I have a number of questions for Dr. Cromie. If a farmer has a four-star or five-star bull or cow and a heifer is produced, I presume that the heifer will be classed as five-star. If the farmer goes off to the mart with his lovely heifer and I buy it and genotype it, is it correct that she might only be two-star or three-star?
