We gave the heifers their turn… but we sure aren’t done with the good bulls yet! 👀

HR Admiral 30M9

This Admiral son out of our 30J4 Oracle donor brings a whole lot to the table. Big footed, heavy boned, bold sprung and deep sided, he carries tremendous length with a stout hip and muscle that runs down into his lower quarter. Add a clean sheath and a docile disposition, and you’ve got the kind of bull we’re proud to put our name on.
He came small and went to work, starting at 68 pounds at birth, then recording actual weights of 680 pounds at weaning and 1,344 pounds at yearling. He backed that performance with a strong carcass ultrasound scan, combining muscle and marbling to match the power you see in his picture.

His EPDs tell the same story:
▪️ Top 20% Calving Ease Direct
▪️ Top 30% Birth Weight
▪️ Top 3% Weaning Weight
▪️ Top 2% Yearling Weight
▪️ Top 10% Ribeye Area
▪️ Top 15% IMF
▪️ Top 3% Terminal Index

And there’s plenty behind him on the maternal side, too. With Top 15% Heifer Pregnancy and Top 25% Stayability, he offers genetic potential for daughters that breed back and make a lasting contribution to a cow herd.
That maternal foundation runs deep on both sides of his pedigree, with the influential 535A8 on the top side and Suhn’s Miss Patton 30X5 on the bottom. These donor cows have left a lasting mark on the breed and exemplify the longevity we value. 30X5 even had her own natural calf at 14 years of age! That’s the kind of cow power we want behind a bull, productive females that keep earning their place in the herd year after year.
Small at birth. Pounds on the scale. Carcass merit and maternal value behind him. Come take a look November 10 at our first annual Hicks Ranch sale!

💥 Loaded with dimension and Built to catch your attention.
HR MS KINGDOM 30M
Next up in our lineup of featured bred females is 30M who just does a lot of things right. Bold ribbed, deep bodied, clean lined, and thick as all get out, she packs an impressive amount of muscle and capacity into a moderate, balanced package. A strong top, expressive hip, and depth through her flank give her that productive brood-cow look we love, while still maintaining her femininity.
Add good feet and a great disposition, and she becomes even easier to appreciate.
She is the first calf out of a Growth Fund daughter we purchased from Grady @ Draggin M, sired by 60K21, a Kingdom son also being used in the Draggin M herd. We couldn’t be more pleased with the start her young dam has made.
And there is plenty to like on paper, too:
▪️ Top 2% Stayability
▪️ Top 10% Fertility Index
▪️ Top 15% Heifer Pregnancy
▪️ Top 15% WW, YW, REA, and Terminal Index
▪️ Top 20% IMF
That combination matters to us. Growth and carcass merit alongside the reproductive and longevity traits we emphasize when building our cow herd. Getting females bred and keeping them productive for years will always be central to our program.
Safe in calf to DMR Admiral 535K13, adding even more excitement to what this female brings to the table.
If you like your females stout, big bodied, gentle, and moderate framed, put this one on your list.

🔥 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.🔥💪
