CBS Laredo (D) — AHCA #53243: A Registered Highland Bull with Two Royal Winter Fair Grand Champions in His Direct Pedigree

CBS Laredo (D) is a fullblood, horned, red Highland bull registered with the American Highland Cattle Association under registration number 53243, born April 4, 2013, and bred by Carole and Gordon Segal. His pedigree is one of the most thoroughly documented in the American Highland Cattle Association herd book, tracing an unbroken direct sire line back to 1942 through the official Highland Cattle Society Herd Book in Scotland — fourteen generations of continuously recorded ancestry from the historic Quothquan and Glenfalloch folds of Scotland to modern U.S. show genetics.

What makes CBS Laredo's bloodline exceptional is the concentration of championship titles just three and four generations back in his direct sire line:

• His great-grandsire, Sunset Limited Edition, was a two-time Grand Champion Bull at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto (2002 and 2003) and went on to sire Grand Champion bulls in five consecutive winning years (2007–2011).

• His grandsire, Sunset Rebel Yell, was Grand Champion Bull at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in both 2005 and 2007, and Reserve Grand Champion in 2006 — a bull described by breeders as never defeated in his show division, with over 100 progeny recorded for AHCA performance data.

• On the dam side of that same cross, Sunset Eb's Harmony was Grand Champion Female at the 2000 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and Reserve Champion Female at the 2001 National Western Stock Show in Denver, while her dam, Ebony-Lass of Sunset, was a two-time Grand Champion Female at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (1999 and 2002).

• Further back, his sire line runs directly to Jock of Glengorm, a Scottish-bred import still referenced by name today in current U.S. Highland cattle sale advertising as the source of "championship lineage direct to Scotland."

CBS Laredo's own sire, HSC Rebel's Jack, carries the "HSC" (Husker Show Cattle) prefix associated with modern show-ring winners, including the 2022 National Western Stock Show Champion Junior Yearling Bull, HSC Jorge. On his dam's side, CBS Laredo traces to Schon Boden Farms genetics (Osceola, Wisconsin), a maternal program recognized by the AHCA for producing multiple "Impact Dams" — cows whose daughters and granddaughters have gone on to influence the breed nationally.

CBS Laredo is already proving himself as a sire. His son, CBS Red Alert, was named Reserve Senior Bull Calf at the 2024 National Western Stock Show in Denver — one of the most competitive Highland cattle shows in the country — confirming that the championship pattern in this bloodline is carrying forward into the current generation.

For breeders seeking Highland cattle genetics with a documented, multi-generational championship record — verified against the Highland Cattle Society Herd Book and AHCA pedigree records rather than anecdote — CBS Laredo represents a rare combination: fourteen generations of unbroken, traceable Scottish-to-American pedigree, with real Grand Champion titles at two of North America's most prestigious Highland cattle shows sitting just three generations back.
