The American Brahman breed is experiencing a strong demand due to the influence it plays in the domestic and international cattle herds.

Today more than ever the breed is witnessing an emphasis on polled cattle. Moreno Ms. Lady Polled Pom Pom is one of the few polled females in this sale. Not only is Pom Pom polled but she is phenotypically outstanding and is backed by a proven pedigree that is an outcross to many of the current polled bloodlines. Polled Pom Pom is by Moreno Mr. Polled Kyros who was a former show bull and now a proven sire as validated by his offspring winning shows and topping sales in the USA and Australia. To further add value to Pom Pom from a genetic standpoint her dam is a young donor that results from two Register of Renown parents to include +Mr. V8 380/6 and one of the most proven Moreno Ranches donors with 44 progeny. One of the most exciting things about Pom Pom is her performance indicators that rank in the top 15% of the breed for Growth and 40% for the valuable carcass traits of Ribeye Area & Marbling EPD’s. Polled Pom Pom should show competitively based on her eye appealing build but we see her real value as a cornerstone breeding piece!

A genetic masterpiece would be a starting point when describing H3 Ms. Willa’s Pasco 25/0. Yes, you have to appreciate the dark red color, super deep body, and heavy structure that she offers but study her pedigree. The sire to Willa’s Pasco is +SRS Mr. Pasco 812 one of the most proven sires in the breed due to the success of his progeny. This impressive bull was named as the 2006 Reserve National Champion. Soon after receiving this recognition, he was lost due to an accident. Fortunately, a limited amount of semen was collected and as a result only a limited number of progeny have been registered with many of these being show winners. It should also be known that the value of his semen when offered was $11,000/straw making this an even more valuable opportunity. The dam to 25/0 is Lady H Willa Rojo 243/8 who was a many time show winner, graced the cover of The Brahman Journal, and was named as the Premier Red Cow of Florida. Willa is by HK Visa Volunteer 244 and out of the Grand Champion Red Heifer at the Houston Livestock Show Junior Heifer Show. This is an extremely well-bred show heifer prospect!

We are proud to offer a part of V8’s cow family legacy with Miss V8 497/9, linebred to our past Reserve International Champion Female, +Miss V8 209/6 from the Rose cow family. It would take pages and hours to document the contributions this cow family has made to V8. Miss V8 497/9’s sire, the National Champion +Mr. V8 322/8, a son of +Mr. V8 380/6, earned his place in the Register of Renown at just five years old, showcasing the quality of his progeny. Notably, daughter Miss V8 472/9 “Magic,” became the 2022 Reserve National Champion, and sold for a record $150,000 for half interest. Miss V8 497/9, destined to be a keeper female for us and member of our show string, was a class winner at the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress. She ranks in the top 1% of the breed for EPDs in weaning and yearling weight. She is deep bodied, easy fleshing, and heavy muscled with a powerful hip design and level topline. Beyond this, she combines eye appeal, bone, a clean underline, and that irresistible V8 style. When you have this much clout in a pedigree, the sky is the limit on what you can breed her to. You will have fun choosing multiple bulls to use while admiring her as a front-pasture cow. She sells bred to JDH Durango Manso 68, a Beckton son, (ABBA: 981986) for a Spring 2024 calf.

The legacy of MAXIMUS and some of the most integral Red Brahman cow families live in this female. Miss WCC Zinnia 527/2 is unlike any Red Brahman sale feature. Her undeniable quality of breed character and real-world traits combined with a timeless pedigree makes her a breeding piece standout in American Red Brahman. “Zinnia” is sired by +Mr WCC Maximus Rojo 82/4, who needs very little introduction. The MAXIMUS sired cattle have captivated the Red Brahman world because of their practicality, fertility, and ability to thrive in the show ring and pasture. However, we encourage you to focus on the bottom side of “Zinnia’s” pedigree. The 101 cow is not only Stuart’s favorite cow at the ranch but represents a HK cow family we’ve focused our program around. The 101 cow stems from the HK Ms Break Thru 966 cow family that produced herd sires like HK Visa Brazil and HK Mr Passport 624. In our opinion the 966 cow influence is one on the most reliable and genuine cow families in Red Brahman genetics. Additionally, sires like +3H X-Ray Consigned by: 825 and 3H Ray Gun 500 are represented in Zinnia’s pedigree. Miss WCC Zinnia 527/2 is DNA WATKINS CATTLE COMPANY verified and we think can influence the future STUART WATKINS: 512-460-7250 of American Red Brahman cattle for generations Email: watkins.stuart@gmail.com Sire to come.
