LSR Starlight – Foundation Highland Cow
Born May 17, 2012 at Laughing Sun Ranch
LSR Starlight Pedigree and AHCA Registration Information
“Starry,” as we lovingly call her, is the matriarch of our herd and came to us from the renowned Laughing Sun Ranch. She is truly the Highland that every breeder dreams of owning — a perfect blend of beauty, temperament, and structural excellence — and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her as part of JCA Highlands.
Starry is absolutely stunning with a sweet, gentle personality that makes her a joy to handle. She possesses exceptional conformation, excellent feet, and a well-attached, productive udder — qualities she reliably passes on to her offspring. Every white heifer calf she has produced is nearly a carbon copy of her in appearance and disposition.
Over the years, Starry has produced seven outstanding calves:
-
1 Bull: Silver
-
6 Heifers: One dun, one silver, and four whites
We are proud to have retained two of her daughters, Wendy and Fiona, to continue her strong genetic legacy here at the farm. Starry is an exceptional and attentive mother who adores her calves, and we eagerly look forward to her future calves — especially in hopes of another silver heifer for ourselves and a white heifer for a friend who has long admired her genetics.
Starry has been DNA-tested and is NEGATIVE for the Myostatin NT-821 Deletion gene, ensuring her continued soundness and structural integrity.
Her pedigree is equally impressive:
-
Sire: Skye High Wayward Son — 2011 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Bull
-
Grandsire: Ben Eniglair of Scone Palace — A distinguished Scottish import
-
Granddam: Emily of Gordon’s Fold — National Western Stock Show Grand Champion
With her unparalleled genetics, timeless beauty, and perfect temperament, Starry will remain a cherished and permanent member of our herd for the rest of her life.
