The foremans residence is a fenced, 3BR/2BA bricked home with private entrance on 1.5 acres at the northeast corner of the property.
The owners of Hickory Hill have cultivated the ranch into a productive cattle operation. Crossing Brahman and Brangus bulls with Hereford cows produces first-generation offspring known as F1 crosses, also known as tigerstripes| because of their mottled coloring. Heifers from this particular cross grow into mother cows that often bring premiums in the marketplace because of their nurturing but hardy nature in subtropical climates such as Texas.
Hickory Hill also offers fine facilities for the horseman or horsewoman in the family. A six-stall stable with water and two tack rooms afford storage for equipment and feed. A training/breaking ring lays just outside the paddocks with plenty of storage in adjacent sheds for feed and hay.
