🔥 BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. BRED FOR THE LONG HAUL. 🔥
HR MS ADMIRAL 535N
Some females make visitors stop, study, and come back for another look. This ADMIRAL daughter has been doing exactly that and it’s easy to see why!
Deep bodied. Bold ribbed. Heavy boned. Loose skinned. Exceptional muscle expression. She carries tremendous depth through her flank, a long, powerful hip, and the kind of capacity that makes you picture her raising a stout calf year after year. Add a beautiful front end and a balanced, feminine look, and you have a female that is awfully hard to walk away from.
But watch her walk, and you’ll appreciate her even more.
She gets out and travels with the ease and freedom we put so much emphasis on. And her feet? About as picture perfect as we could ask for. A visitor from a large, highly respected cattle operation, someone who places tremendous emphasis on feet and structural integrity, recognized that same quality when he evaluated her here at the ranch.
That foundation matters. These females have a job to do for YEARS.
Sired by DMR ADMIRAL 535K13, she is out of a young CB POWERPACK 75E7 daughter who is quickly earning her place in our program. Her dam has maintained a 354-day calving interval across her first three calves, settles to AI, and has a Prosperity heifer calf this year that you will DEFINITELY be hearing more about!
That is the kind of production record we want standing behind our females. Breed back. Calve on time. Bring a top-end calf to the weaning pen. Do it again.
And 535N brings an impressive set of genetic tools of her own:
▪️ Top 2% Calving Ease Direct
▪️ Top 4% Birth Weight
▪️ Top 15% Weaning Weight, Yearling Weight, and Ribeye Area
▪️ Top 20% Heifer Pregnancy
Calving ease, growth, muscle, and maternal potential, all wrapped in a female with this much presence!
THIS is the kind we believe keeps cattle programs in business for the long haul. The body and capacity to work. The structure to stay. A productive young cow behind her already proving what we’re breeding toward.
She has been a favorite here for a reason. On November 10, you’ll have the opportunity to make her a favorite in YOUR pasture.

🔥🔥🔥There are females you sell… and then there are females you have to convince yourself to let go.
This is one of those females.
Introducing HR MS ADMIRAL 7139M4 — a FULL SISTER to HR LEGION 7139M9.
When a mating can produce a bull the caliber of Legion and a female that looks like THIS, you’re no longer talking about one great individual.
You’re talking about the kind of mating that can change programs.
Sired by DMR ADMIRAL 535K13 and out of our tremendous donor CFC MISS TRAIL BOSS 7139J, 7139M4 combines two of the most important pieces of our breeding program.
And just look at her.
Power. Body. Dimension. Bone. Rib. Hip. Balance. Femininity.
And she puts it all together on an exceptional set of feet and legs. She is correct in her angles, strong through her pasterns, clean and flexible through her hocks, and gets out and moves with the kind of reach, freedom and athleticism we demand in a female expected to stay productive for years.
She is the kind you can envision becoming a cornerstone donor before she ever raises her first calf.
And her EPD profile says she is every bit as special genetically as she is phenotypically.
Top 1% REA.
Top 3% YW.
Top 4% WW.
Top 5% Terminal Index.
Top 10% CED.
Top 20% Heifer Pregnancy.
Top 20% Stayability.
Calving ease. Growth. Muscle. Maternal. Fertility. Longevity.
That is the combination we have been chasing.
And somehow, it gets even better…
🚨 7139M4 sells SAFE IN CALF to DMR PROSPERITY 99L2. 🚨
So you aren’t simply buying a full sister to Legion. You’re buying directly into the heart of our program with the next generation already on board.
Admiral × Trail Boss genetics, carrying a calf by Prosperity.
Think about that for a minute.
We have spent years trying to stack phenotype, performance, maternal strength, fertility, structural integrity and predictability into one package.
This is it.
This is the kind of female we envisioned when we made this mating.
This is the kind of female we normally build around.
And this is the kind of female that is incredibly difficult to put a price on because, quite frankly, we don’t want to sell her.
But here we are.
We said we wanted to offer cattle capable of making a difference.
7139M4 absolutely has that kind of potential.
November 10. Hicks Ranch. Don’t miss the opportunity to make her yours!

💪POWER, PERFORMANCE & COW POWER BUILT IN! 💪
HR TOP GUN 86N5
Top Gun x Ultimate
This $110,000 DMR Top Gun 535J19 son brings a lot to the table and the story behind him may be just as exciting as the bull himself.
He is the FIRST calf out of an Ultimate daughter we raised, and she wasted no time proving she belongs. She calved, went right to work raising this stout son, then settled back AI and will maintain an outstanding 356-day calving interval. That’s the kind of fertility and maternal efficiency we want to build around!
And this bull backs it up on paper. Take a look at the phenotype too, stout made, deep bodied, powerful and packed with muscle. When you combine the growth and carcass merit of Top Gun with a young female already proving she can flat-out do her job, you get the kind of genetics we get excited about.
This is the kind of bull built to move a program forward.🔥💪

🔥 CALVING EASE WITHOUT GIVING UP THE GOODS! 🔥
HR ADMIRAL 103N
Admiral x Special Delivery
This bull checks a lot of boxes. Elite calving ease, real-world performance, maternal strength, and an outstanding phenotype.
Sired by DMR Admiral 535K13, a bull that continues to prove himself by consistently siring the kind that rise to the top. The more Admiral calves we see, the more confidence we have in what he’s stamping into them.
🔹 Top 1% CED
🔹 Top 2% BW
🔹 Top 15% WW, REA, & SC
🔹 Top 25% YW
🔹 Top 10% Heifer Pregnancy
🔹 Top 20% Stayability
He entered the world at just 68 lbs., yet went on to flat perform against his contemporaries:
WW — 108 ratio
YW — 102 ratio
REA — 108 ratio
40 cm scrotal
That means he didn’t just come small, he got up and grew, outperforming his contemporaries at weaning and yearling. Put that together with the shape, depth, muscle, bone and overall presence you see in his picture, and this is the kind of calving ease bull that gets us excited!
And then there’s his dam that has earned her way into our donor pen. Through 5 natural calves, she has maintained an incredible 375-day average calving interval while being flushed and one we can count on to settle AI. That is the kind of fertility and consistency we want to build around.
For a little more proof, her bull calf last year, a maternal brother to 103N, sold for $16,000.
Real world performance, Elite calving ease EPDs. Proven maternal. And the phenotype to go with it.
Here’s one that deserves a serious look on sale day.🔥

💥🧬📈 HR CURRENCY 166N💥🧬📈
Currency x Trail Boss
When phenotype, performance, maternal power, and an elite EPD profile all come together in one package, you pay attention. This bull is Top 1% YW and Terminal Index, Top 2% WW, Top 4% Stayability and Fertility Index, Top 10% BW, TM, SC and REA, and Top 15% IMF and Heifer Pregnancy. That is a serious combination of calving ease, explosive growth, carcass merit, fertility and longevity and he has the actual performance to back it up.
What may impress us even more is the story behind those numbers. He is the FIRST calf out of a Trail Boss daughter, and she wasn't given the luxury of being compared only against a group of other first-calf heifers. She was placed in the same contemporary group as our mature cows. Her first calf (166N) still posted a 112 WW ratio and 109 YW ratio, then went on to ratio 103 for REA and an incredible 163 for IMF measuring 7.44 with only 0.26” Fat. He started at just 69 lbs. and continued to perform all the way through yearling.
This is exactly the kind of genetic progress we're chasing at Hicks Ranch. A first-calf female stepping up against mature cows and raising one with this kind of phenotype, performance and data is what gets us excited about the future. This bull checks a LOT of boxes. 💥🧬📈
