At Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans, we proudly present Moreno Ms. Lady Red High Heels 402/4, a young Red Brahman female whose pedigree blends two of the most influential cow families in the modern Brahman breed. Bred by Moreno Ranches, she represents the evolution of power, femininity, and genetic consistency that defines the Moreno legacy and the vision of Bryant–Cardenas breeding philosophy.
Pedigree Power and Proven Heritage
Red High Heels 402/4 is sired by LB Mr. Smokin Abe 3, a proven bull admired for transmitting muscle, substance, and balance while maintaining structural integrity and breed character. Her dam, Moreno Ms. Lady Reina Bonita 892, was crowned 2017 Reserve International Champion Female—a daughter of the elite donor Violet, whose name is synonymous with excellence in both the show ring and the donor pasture.
Violet herself was the 2015 International Champion Female; a title earned among fierce global competition. Yet, her true value emerged as a record-producing donor with over 70 registered progeny, including champions, sale toppers, and herd sires. Her impact as a maternal cornerstone is unmatched—her first natural calf, Reina Bonita 892, carried forward her winning legacy and maternal productivity.
Violet’s influence runs deep: she is the product of two breed icons—+JDH Mr. Elmo Manso, the 2009 National Champion and global symbol of Brahman excellence, and a daughter of +BB Mr. Sting Ray 10/0, one of the most recognized and consistent Red Brahman sires of all time. Due to her genetic superiority, Violet was cloned to preserve her unmatched influence for future generations.
On the paternal side of Red High Heels’ lineage, the power of +BB Bronson 299/3 reinforces her heritage. Bronson was a nine-time division winner in ABBA-approved shows and a record-setting $35,000 high seller at the 2006 ABBA International Sale. In 2012, he sired both the Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion Bulls at the World Brahman Congress and later produced Moreno Mr. Rudolph 851, the 2020 International Champion Bull—a testament to Bronson’s enduring impact on the global Brahman breed.
This powerful pedigree—linking Elmo, Sting Ray, Bronson, and Violet—positions Red High Heels 402/4 as a true representative of generational excellence.
