MORENO MS. LADY POLLED RUBY (P) 310/4 represents the next generation of elite Red Brahman genetics — a naturally polled female combining structural excellence, fertility, and breed character. Ruby blends the predictable production power of POLLED PATHFINDER (P) 24 with the proven maternal performance of MORENO MS. LADY RITMA 964/1, a cow line known for longevity and consistent quality. MORENO MS. LADY RITMA 964/1 was sired by an older sire BB Mr. Legatus 222/2, who is a son of the legendary +Mr. 3H X-Ray 825. BB MR. LEGATUS 222/2 has been used for his milking ability, growth, length, style and femininity that he injects into his females.
Genetic Advantage
- Sire: POLLED PATHFINDER (P) – A cornerstone of modern polled Red Brahman genetics recognized for transmitting muscle, clean lines, and early maturity without sacrificing femininity or breed type.
- Dam: MORENO MS. LADY RITMA 964/1 – A top daughter in the Moreno Ranches donor battery, contributing maternal efficiency, udder quality, and exceptional milk EPDs.
- COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) 1.88%, Exceptionally low, supporting hybrid vigor and long-term herd diversity.
- Embryo Transfer Female: guarantees genetic precision from elite parentage.
Performance Summary
EPD analysis confirms Ruby’s balance across production traits:
- CED 6.0 (Top 25%) Strong calving ease for heifers.
- SC 1.58 (Top 25%) Desirable fertility and sexual maturity indicator.
- REA +0.20 (Top 15%) Muscle expression and carcass yield potential.
- $Queen Index: 40.65 (Top 25%) Maternal profitability measure, emphasizing both growth and udder traits.
Her combination of moderate birth weight, maternal strength, and carcass merit makes her a versatile breeding female suitable for both show and production programs.
Physical & Functional Qualities
Ruby’s phenotype displays balance and femininity with strong top line, deep body capacity, and clean underlines. As a naturally polled female, she contributes to a safer, management-friendly herd environment without compromising breed identity or horn strength in her progeny.
Breeding Outlook
MORENO MS. LADY POLLED RUBY (P) is positioned for donor development. With her genetic package, she is ideal for crossing with proven sires such as +BB BRONSON 299/3, +MR 3H X-RAY 825, or MR. JH BETO 41/3, to produce homozygous-polled, show-quality offspring with superior carcass and maternal balance.
