At Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans, we take pride in developing and showcasing females that represent the best in modern Red Brahman breeding — cattle that balance phenotype, pedigree, and performance. Moreno Ms. Lady Rosie RU 416/4 is a young female that embodies these principles. Bred by Moreno Ranches, Inc., she reflects the proven strength of +Mr. Fontenot 333 “Rufus”, one of the breed’s most influential sires, and the maternal excellence of Moreno Ms. Lady Roseline 928/1, a daughter of the legendary +LB Lady Violet Manso. Rosie RU carries the potential to become one of the most influential donors at Bryant–Cardenas Red Brahmans.
Pedigree Excellence
Sire: +Mr. Fontenot 333 “Rufus”
The 2016 International Champion Red Bull, “Rufus,” is celebrated worldwide for his ability to sire progeny that combine show-ring appeal with production value. His offspring have earned global recognition, with his Get of Sire named 2019 National Champion and numerous progeny excelling across the U.S., Central America, and Thailand. Rufus is admired for transmitting stoutness, muscle, and structural integrity — all while offering an outcross pedigree that fits a wide range of breeding programs.
Dam: Moreno Ms. Lady Roseline 928/1
A daughter of Moreno Mr. Risque Intentions and +LB Lady Violet Manso (2015 International Champion Female), Lady Roseline continues a legacy of excellence. Her pedigree traces back to two pillars of Red Brahman breeding: Mr. 3H X-Ray 825 and +BB Mr. Sting-Ray 10/0, both recognized globally for their influence. With top 10% rankings for growth and consistent maternal productivity, Lady Roseline has already proven herself as an impactful female and a cornerstone of genetic progress.
Together, these two pedigrees combine the power of Rufus with the maternal predictability of Violet, creating a cow family that excels in both phenotype and measurable performance.
