Welcome to Strawberry Ridge and our 7th annual production sale. What a great time to be in the cattle business. The market has stayed strong and all reports say it will stay strong if not get stronger. Unfortunately as the price of our product goes up, the cost of doing business has also. At The Ridge we continue to offer our customers lead- ing edge genetics at affordable prices “You always get more bull than you pay for”. This is the 2nd year for EXT, Future Direction and Norski and they are as good as they were last year. We added Grand Oscar and Challenger to our ranch sire battery and they have excelled above our expectations, moderate birth, excellent growth, bulls with plenty of ca- pacity and thickness. We also added several outside A.I. sires, to offer you our customers and friends more op- tions, they are listed in the reference sire pages. This is the most even set of bulls we have ever raised. They are so evenly matched from Lot 1 to Lot 85 that I changed the sale order numerous times, and finally settled on this one, and feel content that within this offering you will find the bulls that fit your program. Lots 75- 81 are the black/red gene carrier bulls, if mated to red hided cows will produce 50 % red calves. Mated to black cows will get black calves, unless they are black red gene carriers. As you go through the catalog, the pens on sale day, or study the DVD we hope you can appreciate the measures we have gone through to build a cow herd that raises bulls to go home and contribute to the building of yours. These offspring are raised in a rather harsh environment born in the winter, summer at high rough elevation, fighting the ele- ments along the way. Coming from this environment makes them easily adaptable to al- most any environment. After weaning they have been fed a high roughage ration and have excelled. AtThe Ridge we don’t have fancy calving barns, or fancy slogans we just have good honest cattle, always striving to stay balanced through all the traits. Please come and see how we can help you. Sale cattle are all tested BVD-PI free. Strawberry Ridge herd is one of the few certi- fied Brucellosis free Red Angus herd in Montana. All sale bulls are also test OS free.

WHY EPDS ARE SO IMPORTANTGLOSSARY OFTERMS
Genetic predictions in the form of EPDs are a cattle producer’s most powerful tool for making informed breeding decisions. AnEPD, or expected progeny difference, is just what it sounds like. It is a prediction of the difference between the average performanceof future progeny of an individual and the performance as compared to all other individuals in the breed. In other words, they are acomparative prediction of genetic merit. The Red Angus Association implemented Total Herd Reporting (THR) in 1995 which re-quires that the production and performance of all animals in the Red Angus herd book be accounted for annually. THR enables RedAngus to have the most unbiased and reliable EPDs in the industry and allows producers to make selection decisions with confi-dence. EPDs are the only way to compare animals across all herds in the country. RAAA has focused its recent efforts on developingEPDs for Economically Relevant Traits (ERTs). ERTs are those aspects of fertility, calving ease, stayability, and maintence, which di-rectly affect your profitability.
CED EPD: Calving Ease Direct. Calculated on a percentage basis, the probability than an animal’s calves will be born without assis-tance to a two-year old heifer.BW: Actual birth weight of an animal205 AWW: AdjustedWeaningWeight. An animal’s actual weaning weight adjusted to 205 days of age and age of dam.365 AYW: AdjustedYearlingWeight. An animal’s actual yearling weight adjusted to 365 days.WR:Weaning Ratio. How an animal’s 205 AWW compares to all others in his contemporary group. 100 is average.ADG: Average Daily Gain. The average number of pounds gained on test.YR: Yearling Ratio. How an animal’s 365 adjusted weight compares to all other animals in his contemporary group. 100 is average.EPD PERCENTILE RANKING: Where an animal ranks when compared to all bulls/females in the breed. For example, a bull/femalewho ranks in the top 2% ranks above 98% of his contemporaries.
BW EPD: BirthWeight. Number of pounds difference that an animal is expected to produce at birth compared to the average of allbulls/females in the breed.WWEPD:WeaningWeight. The number of pounds heavier or lighter at 205 days of age that this bull/female can be expected to pro-duce compared to AWWs from all bulls/females in the breed.YW EPD: YearlingWeight. The number of pounds heavier or lighter at 365 days of age that this bull/female can be expected to pro-duce compared to the average 365 AYWs of progeny from all bulls/females in the breed.MILK EPD: Milk Production. The number of pounds heavier or lighter at 205 days expected from this bull’s/female’s daughtersthroughmilk production alone.TM EPD: Total Maternal. The total amount of weaning weight expected from a bull’s/female’s daughters’ calves throughmilk pro-duction plus growth potential.ME: Maintenance Energy. The difference in energy requirements of a bull/female as compared to all other bulls/females in thebreed. The calculation includes body weight, condition score, and milk.CEM EPD: Calving Ease Total Maternal. Calculated on a percentage basis, the probability that an animal’s daughters will calve unas-sisted.STAYABILITY: The probability that a cow will remain in the herd for a period of 6 years. Given the primary emphasis in most herdson pregnancy, stayability is likely to be more a measure of sustained fertility than anything else. Stayability is calculated on a per-centage basis.HPG: Heifer Pregnancy. Calculated on a percentage basis, the probability than an animal’s daughters will conceive to calve as two-year olds.MARB-MARBLING EPD: The expected progeny difference of marbling score in a bull/female as compared to marbling scores of allother bulls/females in the breed.REA-RIBEYE AREA EPD: The expected progeny difference of ribeye area of a bull/female as compared to the REA of all otherbulls/females in the breed.BFAT-BACKFAT: The expected progeny difference of the depth of fat cover in a bull/female as compared to all other bulls/females inthe breed.BREED AVERAGES: The average EPDs of all animals in the breed in any given category.
