The Bryant–Cardenas
Red Brahman Legacy
1982
We need a pic from that time
Since 1982, the Bryant family has been committed to shaping one of the most influential Red Brahman programs in the world. What began as a father–son vision between Barry M. Bryant, and his son, Dr. Kevin M. Bryant, has grown into a legacy built on discipline, family, and world-class cattle genetics.
Legends in Red:
The Bulls That Built a Program
1990s
Every great herd begins with a vision. For the Bryant Red Brahmans that vision was realized through a handful of extraordinary sires whose influence still shapes the breed today.-
The 3X Bulls – In the early 1990s, Barry Bryant invested in +MR. 3X HE’S GOT THE LOOK 40/2, MR. 3X LOOK OUT 30/2, and MR. 3X THE HERD BULL 20/3. These sires added bone, balance, and style, laying the foundation for what Bryant Red Brahmans would always represent.
-
The Game Changer – The acquisition of +MR. 3H X-RAY 825 was pivotal to Red Brahmans with the help of Larry Janssen and Dinah Weil. His very first calf, +BB MR. STING-RAY 10/0, became a National Champion, three-time ABBA Show Bull of the Year, and one of the most recognized Red Brahman bulls in history.
-
The Next Generation – +BB BRONSON 299/3, a National Calf Champion, carried the legacy forward with the help of Kelvin Moreno, producing some of the most consistent Red Brahmans in the breed.
Together, these sires built more than banners—they built trust in genetics that last. Their legacy runs through many of the breed’s most influential cattle in the world today.
Stewardship, Family, and Renewal
Even after Barry Bryant’s passing, the vision continued. Dr. Kevin M. Bryant balanced his medical career with cattle stewardship, ensuring the herd remained strong. Later, partnerships safeguarded the bloodlines until Kevin returned with a renewed purpose: to mentor the next generation—including his godsons, Dorian and Dalton—through the discipline and care of ranch life.

It would be nice to have pictures of your ranches here
At Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans, excellence does not stop at the fence line. It spans borders, combining U.S. genetics with Mexican tradition to create an elite herd that thrives in both environments.

In the United States – Our program is anchored by proven sires like +MR. 3H X-RAY 825, +BB MR. STING-RAY 10/0, +BB BRONSON 299/3, DB SOUTHERN STYLE 2/023 “Chambord,” and MR JH “Beto” 41/3, alongside donor females from respected breeders. With ABBA-tracked genetics, advanced reproductive technology, and strict performance data, we produce cattle ready to compete anywhere in the world.

At Hacienda Zury, El Tuito, Jalisco – Our vision takes shape on Mexican soil with U.S. genetics adapted to local conditions, improved pastures for rotational grazing, and facilities designed for both show quality and commercial functionality. Hacienda Zury is more than a ranch—it is a destination where heritage meets innovation.
One program, two destinations.
From the Texas show barn to the hills of Jalisco, every calf reflects our family’s name, vision, and commitment to excellence.
