Sunstar Pride Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a six-rowed winter feed barley. It was released by Sunderman Breeding Co. in 1997. It was selected from the cross Eight Twelve/Steptoe. Its experimental designation was SDM 204 B-1. It has intermediate height and good straw strength. At the time of evaluation it was moderately resistant to BYD and susceptible to stripe rust. It was evaluated as Entry 952 in the UC Regional Cereal Testing program from 1996-1998 for fall planting in the intermountain region of northern California.
