MISS WERNING KP 8543U / Dam of Relentless

Relentless

W/C Relentless has become a household name and one of the most popular Simmental bulls in the breed. His presence is second to none, his build is flawless, and his ability to sire cattle that excel at the highest levels is simply unparalleled. During his lifetime he has sold in excess of $300,000, as the highest earning Simmental bull the past two years at Cattle Visions. His high sellers list continues to grow, with countless 5-figure valued progeny that have sold for as much as $75,000. Relentless is in a league of his own when it comes to generating elite females, with many of these females becoming dominant forces on the tan bark. Relentless is the sire of the 2018 Simmental Breeders Sweepstakes Grand Champion Female, a female that is a future donor in the Hicks Cattle Company program. In addition, Relentless has sired Champions and top 5 selections at the AJSA Summer Classic, Sweepstakes, Regional Shows, State Fairs, and we believe this trend will continue into the fall and winter show season. The momentum of this truly unique breeding bull doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop at his ability to transmit his look, build, and body type to his progeny, as he is also backed by the most prolific female in the Simmental breed, 8543U. Producing in excess of $3 Million in actual progeny sales, Relentless is joined by many maternal brothers and sisters that have endured a tremendous run as well, including; Bullseye, Executive Order, Bankroll, Night Watch, Red Answer, Angel, Roller Girl, Pearl, 6015D, 6043D, 6110D, and 6114D to name a few. The impact of the powerful 8543U cow is potent, as she has produced countless sons and daughters working at top herds across North America.

W/C Bullseye 3046A / Mature picture

Bullseye

Bullseye is another one of the most prominent 8543U sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the market. Sired by the great Lock N Load, this stout, rugged baldy stud that is noted for is ability to sire the type and kind of cattle that work in different breeding scenarios. Bullseye is one of the most massive centered, big hipped, and three-dimensional sires used within the Hicks program. He has the ability to generate the type and kind of females that will serve as the foundation for the next generation of SimGenetic at Hicks Cattle Company. 8543U is one of, if not the most influential females in the Simmental breed. She has produced son and daughters that are employed in the breedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prominent sire batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and donor pens across North America. Bullseye is joined by an impressive list of maternal brothers and sisters, including; Relentless, Bank Roll, Red Answer, Angel, Roller Girl, Pearl, 6015D, 6043D, 6110D, and 6114D to name a few. We have found Bullseye works best on solid black females that need a shot of power, substance, and overall dimension. He will improve the longevity, foot structure, fleshing ability, and overall durability. The ultimate female maker that will leave behind a sensational set of daughters!

Double Down

Double Down was our $105,000 pick from the 2018 Werning Cattle Company Bull Sale. We admired Double Down for his extreme quality of structural build, length of spine, squareness of hip, and proud presence. Double Down was identified as a standout since birth, having “the look”, muscle expression, and overall performance. His dam was a hard working two-year old that did an outstanding job in her rookie season of production. Double Down is sired by the great W/C Executive order, a bull that is an own son of 8543U, and making waves across the land for siring SimGenetic cattle that are the right kind to move any program forward. We are fortunate to have added a full sister to the dam of Double Down as a bred heifer in 2017 to the donor battery. Double Down combines the fundamental production traits of importance, along with the unique look, presence, and eye-appeal, which we strive to incorporate into our breeding program. If you’re searching for a Purebred alternative to the great Executive Order, Double Down may be option for your program! Two shots of 534R can be identified within his pedigree, and there is no denying that this bull offers consistency and a strong maternal base. Double Down was used extensively within our program and our partners at High Prairie Genetics in Leavenworth, Kansas. Over 100 calves will be born in the spring of 2019 between the two programs and we can’t wait to see the results!

SAV Bismarck 5682 / Sire of Mr. NLC Bismarck

Bismark

MR. NLC Bismarck Z23 is a half-blood herd sire that has been used intensely within the Hicks Cattle Company program. He was raised at the famed NLC Simmental Ranch, a program that needs no introduction to the beef business. Z23 has been our â&#x20AC;&#x153;go-toâ&#x20AC;? half blood heifer bull for the last several years. He boasts a 12.7 CED with a -1.2 BW EPD. He offers balanced economical traits of importance, without sacrificing real world performance or visual eye-appeal. His dam is a highly productive daughter of Meyer Ranch 734, one of the most heavily used sires of his time, with countless daughters still employed in top programs across the country. Meyer 734 would have been 29 years old this spring, and still has a place for producing the highly maternal, long-lasting females that work at creating an improved next generation. The influence of Bismarck Z23 will be seen heavily in future production sales at The Diamond H.

Serena When the news was announced that Serena was for sale, we knew that we had to make the trip to Milan, Indiana. When the final gavel fell Serena was headed to Covington! HF Serena is without a doubt one of the most well-known and prolific Simmental females that the breed has ever known. As many of you know, Claire Trennepohl campaigned Serena successfully on the tan bark to wins at the AJSA National Classic, the NAILE, the NWSS, and the Indiana State Fair Junior Show. With 112 progeny recorded with the ASA, her gross revenue is over $1 Million and continues to rise. At the AJSA National Classic in Des Moines, 3 direct daughters were in the top 20 including the 3rd overall female! With a valuation of $170,000 at seven years of age, Serena has chapters in the History books left to write. Watch for future generations of Simmental cattle from the influence of Serena to highlight Hicks Cattle Company marketing events! OWNED WITH TRENNEPOHL FARMS

Pearl Daughters / 2017 NWSS Grand Champion Pen of Simmental Heifers

Pearl

Miss Werning 239Z, also known as “Pearl’ at The Diamond H, was our introductory purchase from the Werning program. An own daughter of the great 8543U, this Sure Bet daughter has been the foundation of our program. Her striking profile, beautiful bald face, and unparalleled dimension and shear power is second to none. Countless “Pearl” daughters have been retained in herd, as the building blocks of the future. To date “Pearl’s” greatest accolade came in January of 2017, when a trio of daughters were crowned Grand Champion Pen of Three Purebred Heifers at the National Western Stock Show. Her influence will continue to be an integral part in the progression in the Hicks Cattle Company program.

/ Dam of 6105D

6105D 6105D is one of the most intriguing 3/4 blood females we have inducted into the donor pen. A full sister to the great W/C Executive Order, this female was a past high seller at the Bushy Park Farms Annual Production sale, commanded $48,000 as an open heifer calf. We admired her flawless build, striking phenotype, unsurpassed rib shape and depth of body, along with the fact she is a direct daughter of the great 8543U. Some of the most well-respected and astute cattlemen have commented that, “she may be the most impressive daughter of 8543U to date”. We certainly wouldn’t argue, and her influence will be seen saturated through future calf crops and sale events hosted by Hicks Cattle Company. OWNED WITH RJ CATTLE COMPANY & SCOTT AND JARED WERNING

The historic Hudson Pines dispersal was an event in the Simmental breed that will go down in the books as one of the most impressive sets of females to ever be sold at public auction. We feel fortunate to have been able to acquire the high selling open heifer calf, HPF Victoria B396E. Sired by Relentless, we knew this female needed to make the trip West to Covington, Indiana. Her build is second to none, with an unmatched look from the profile. Her first outing was the Hoosier Beef Congress, where she was named Grand Champion Simmental and 5th Overall Breeds. Her most recent accolade came in Louisville, KY at the Simmental Breeders Sweepstakes Show, where she was crowed Grand Champion Purebred Female. Many exciting matings from this up and coming donor dam will help forge the path at Hicks Cattle Company. Look for genetic opportunities and progeny from HPF Victoria B396E coming soon!
