At Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans, we are proud to feature Moreno Ms. Lady Red Dove 844/3, a striking Red Brahman female bred by Moreno Ranches, Inc. and sired by Moreno Mr. Regun 745, the influential son of +TJF Mr. Smokin Gun 109/7—one of the most complete and structurally correct herd sires in the Moreno program. Red Dove’s pedigree reflects generations of proven performance, femininity, and global influence.
Pedigree Excellence
Red Dove’s lineage is anchored by two of the most celebrated families in Red Brahman history. Her sire, Moreno Mr. Regun, transmits the balance, structure, and breed character associated with the Smokin Gun line, producing offspring with exceptional bone, muscling, and eye appeal.
Her dam, Moreno Ms. Lady Romantic Act, adds maternal strength, fertility, and udder quality to the equation. She is a direct daughter of the world-renowned +Moreno Ms. Lady Reba 112—a cow whose influence forever changed the Red Brahman breed.
+Moreno Ms. Lady Reba 112 was named the 2013 All American Grand Champion Red Female, 2013 National Champion, and 2014 International Reserve Grand Champion, earning her the distinction of 2014 ABBA Show Cow of the Year. Beyond the show ring, Reba became one of the most successful donor females in breed history—producing multiple champions, sale toppers, and earning her place in the ABBA Register of Renown.
Her genetic impact continues to shape the Moreno program through daughters like Romantic Act and granddaughters like Red Dove 844/3, who embody Reba’s femininity, structure, and production power.
