Performance matters. Phenotype matters. Disposition matters just as much.
We’re breeding cattle our family enjoys being around — and we think yours should too.

💪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.🔥💪

The next generation we’re super excited about is loaded up and headed out for development.
But getting them there isn’t about seeing how hard we can push them or how many pounds we can put on them.
It’s about DEVELOPMENT.
Developing cattle that stay sound. Cattle that remain fertile. Cattle built for longevity and real-world production.
The guys at Rose Bud understand that. They’re among these cattle every day, they know them, they care for them, and they develop them with their future in mind.
When you’re trying to build cattle that will make an impact for years to come, how they’re developed matters. #gobrangus #brangus #UltraBlack #NextGen #development #DedicatedToExcellence ... See MoreSee Less

🔥 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.🔥

The sun’s rising, the fog’s lifting, and a pasture full of Brangus calves headed to the pens.
Branding day with friends, the kids beside us, and a next generation of calves that has us plenty excited about what’s ahead.
Days like this are hard to beat!

💥🧬📈 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. 💥🧬📈

📣 INTRODUCING HR LEGION 7139M9. 📣
There are good bulls. There are great bulls. And every once in a while, one comes along that makes you wonder just how far he could go.
We believe Legion is as complete and exciting as any bull we’ve seen since his sire, Admiral. Individually, he leaves very little to ask for. From the ground up, he is absolutely incredible in every area we evaluate - structure, power, muscle, depth, balance, presence and herd bull character. And for all of his power and substance, he remains exceptionally athletic, getting out and moving with tremendous freedom and ease.
And he backs up that look with real performance. Legion recorded actual weights of 790 pounds at weaning,1,388 pounds at yearling, and scanned an impressive 17.43-square-inch ribeye. His EPD profile places him among the breed’s elite for growth, muscle and terminal value, ranking in the Top 4% for WW, Top 3% for YW, Top 1% for REA and Top 4% for Terminal Index, all while still ranking in the Top 15% for Calving Ease!
Even with that level of individual performance, what separates a good one from a great one is predictability. And Legion has the pedigree to back it up. Look behind Legion and you won’t find a pedigree filled with merely recognizable names. You’ll find some of the most influential cattle in the Brangus breed:
DMR Admiral 535K13 — Sire
CFC Miss Trail Boss 7139J — Dam
Never Surrender of Salacoa 803D9
MS DMR Coronado 535A8
TJM Three D 302A
Suhn’s Trail Boss 30B3
CB MS Three D 7139E43
Generation after generation of proven performance, proven cow families and proven breed impact.
Combine that genetic foundation with the individual standing in front of you, and you have a bull with the quality to command your attention and the genetic backing to make you believe he can reproduce it.
On November 10th, one of the biggest opportunities of the fall will walk into the spotlight.
HR LEGION 7139M9......Remember the name.
