Pedigree Excellence
Moreno Ms. Lady Reba Z Pasco 446/4 represents one of the most strategically designed matings in the Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans breeding program. She is the direct result of combining two breed powerhouses +SRS Mr. Pasco 812, a Register of Renown bull and 2006 Reserve National Champion, and Moreno Ms. Light Nite 200/1, a proven donor female tracing to the legendary +Miss B-F 201/9 cow family.
+SRS Mr. Pasco 812, sired by +Mr. 3X Maxmillion-aire 56 and out of +SRS Ms. Sweet Emotion 735, is recognized throughout the breed for transmitting muscle, structural correctness, and pigmentation. His early loss made semen availability limited, increasing the exclusivity and long-term value of his descendants.
Her dam, Moreno Ms. Light Nite 200/1, is a top-ranking female for Milk EPD, carrying the influence of +Miss B-F 201/9, one of Moreno Ranches’ most productive donors with nearly 100 registered offspring. Light Nite’s sire, Moreno Mr. Sir Athos (ET), combines the Reserve National and International Champion JDH Brett Manso with a Vanguard daughter of JDH Copano Manso. This genetic combination unites the Pasco performance line with Moreno’s maternal strength, producing a female designed for fertility, longevity, and market relevance.
