| U/U Ranch is home
to Strawberry Ridge Reds, a Red Angus seedstock and commercial Red
Angus X Gelbvieh breeding operation that started in 1996.
Located 18 miles south of Livingston, MT, in the heart of the Paradise Valley of south central Montana, the U/U Ranch consists of irrigated hay meadows, irrigated pasture, rolling open foothill pasture along with open timbered mountain pasture. The ranch runs 200 mother cows, 130 of which are purebred seedstock. The ranch is owned and operated by Steve and Shelley Newberry and managed by Jim and Cathy Frazier. T-Bar Ranch Red Angus and Cross F Red Angus are closely affiliated with Strawberry Ridge Red Angus and the U/U. T-Bar Ranch is owned by Art and Cathy Burns and managed by Jim Frazier. Cross F Red Angus is owned and managed by Jim and Cathy Frazier. The T-Bar and Cross F herds are run in an integrated manner with Strawberry Ridge Red Angus. We use the same sires and clean up bulls, graze the same pastures, share the same philosophy and we ratio the herds together. We strive to raise red angus seedstock cattle with moderate birth weight, high growth and maternals, feed efficiency, calm dispositions, and good feet and legs. Our top main herd sires, Chapparral 986 and Wide Spread, are doing the work we hoped for when we purchased them. Chapparral has excelled in growthy calves that are phenotypically correct, and he is proving to be his sire Heaven's Sake's replacement. Wide Spread produces thick made calves with high maternal traits. Both produce moderate birth weight. We have heifers in production from both bulls. With the growth in numbers of our purebred herd, we added SRR Top Ridge to our herd battery. Additionally, Strawberry Ridge Red Angus and T-Bar Ranch Red Angus purchased a significant interest in possibly the most complete bull in the breed, LCC Major League. We are excited to see first-hand what impact he will have on the breed, with calves on the ground in our program in the spring of 2004. Strawberry Ridge Red Angus is the fulfillment of a lifelong goal to be surrounded by the great outdoors, people with the highest integrity and character, and our livestock. The opportunity to be part of the Red Angus breed with its history of bringing innovative marketing and progressive science to the improvement of the breed and industry is a privilege. We look forward to making our contribution to the Red Angus breed and want to thank everyone in the breed that has been so helpful and supportive as we have started our operation. We sell cattle to Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Idaho and Canada. Come see us at the shows in Montana, Reno and Denver this year. We will ship semen worldwide.

Through continuous investment in balanced genetics, we are striving to bring easing calving, high milking, high fertility, growthy, and phenotypically correct calves which convert feed efficiently to our customers. We are participating in studies to find the right blend of carcass traits, marbling, ribeye, and backfat that balance with fertility, maternals, and growth.
Our commitment to our customers is backed by our first-year guarantee
of sound breeder bulls and fertile females. We will continuously follow-up
with customers and work with them to help market their calves through
a variety of Red Angus sponsored marketing programs.
