At Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans, we believe the future of the Red Brahman breed rests in females that combine pedigree power, functional design, and data-driven performance. At Bryant-Cardenas Red Brahmans, we are proud to showcase DB Southern Style 2/100, a standout Red Brahman female bred by Detering Brothers Cattle Company. This young female, just over two and a half years old, already displays the pedigree strength, phenotype, and genetic depth to become a donor-level prospect.
Pedigree Excellence
Her sire, +DB Southern Style 33/3, is a proven son of the famous +HK MILLIONAIRE 61/9. Her sire is recognized for transmitting power, muscle, and breed character. His offspring have been admired for their sound structure and visual appeal, with many excelling in both the show ring and breeding pastures.
On the maternal side, her dam, DB Southern Style 1/275, adds femininity, balance, and maternal functionality. The combination of these bloodlines brings together generations of Southern Style consistency — a foundation known for blending phenotype, performance, and productivity.
DB Southern Style 2/100 also carries notable lineage connections: she is the granddaughter of +DB Valentino 48/3, the 2005 Reserve National Champion and 2006 Reserve International Champion Bull. She is also half-sister to DB Southern Style 1/560 “Pistol”, and half-sister to the famous DB Southern Style 13/01 “Feather”, a two-time ABBA Show Cow of the Year — adding prestige and proven excellence to her genetic resume.
Genetic Profile
With a COI of 7.5%, Displays purposeful linebreeding to strengthen consistency and genetic uniformity — a hallmark of effective herd-building females. Her EPD profile represents a balanced combination of growth, fertility, and carcass merit.
Calving Ease Direct (CED 2.52, Top 95%) Indicates moderate calving ease; she can be bred to moderate birthweight sires without risk of calving difficulty.
Birth Weight (BW 6.0, Top >95%) Reflects a heavier birthweight potential, typical of power-oriented genetics designed for growth and substance.
Weaning Weight (WW 17, Top 60%) & Yearling Weight (YW 32, Top 55%) Show steady postnatal growth and frame development. This indicates calves will maintain growth efficiency from weaning through yearling age, a key for performance herds.
Milk (MK 4, Top 90%) Moderate milk production suitable for maintaining body condition while raising solid-performing calves; this balance supports both fertility and longevity in the herd.
Scrotal Circumference (SC 0.23, Top 15%) Strong genetic fertility indicator. In females, this predicts higher reproductive performance and early maturity in offspring.
Docility (Doc 0.08, Top 65%) Represents a calm temperament, desirable for ease of handling and consistent weight gain under ranch conditions.
Ribeye Area (REA 0.23, Top 15%) Reflects muscling and carcass yield advantage. Progeny will exhibit improved ribeye expression and desirable carcass quality for commercial and show markets.
$Bull Index (16.47, Top >95%) and $Queen Index (11.83, Top >95%) These indexes measure overall profitability. Her values confirm that she excels in pedigree consolidation and maternal efficiency, positioning her as a building block for herd consistency rather than extreme outliers.
Together, these EPDs show that DB Southern Style 2/100 balances fertility, growth, and carcass traits — the trifecta required for sustainable Red Brahman improvement.
Phenotype & Outlook
DB Southern Style 2/100 exemplifies the modern Red Brahman female. She is long-bodied, structurally correct, and deep-ribbed, with the eye-catching breed character that defines the Southern Style line. Her balance, smooth front, and femininity mirror her dam’s softness, while her muscle and bone density clearly trace to her sire’s power.
This heifer’s pedigree, phenotype, and genetic indicators make her an ideal donor candidate. She combines performance-driven data with physical appeal and proven bloodlines that transmit consistency. As she matures, her role within the Bryant–Cardenas program will be to strengthen fertility, carcass merit, and maternal balance across the herd.
