Strawberry Grazing Company Letters, 1921

This series of 1921 correspondence from the Strawberry Grazing Company in Heber, Utah, details the administrative and economic challenges of managing local livestock operations. Secretary L.C. Montgomery coordinates with the Forest Supervisor to address delinquent association fees across multiple districts, highlighting the financial hardship of individuals like David Broadhead and ongoing grazing disputes with the Stewart Ranch. To improve economic outcomes, the company and the County Farm Bureau proposed a collective marketing strategy to the Lankershim Packing Company, aiming to sell approximately 3,500 head of high-quality "Heber Cattle" through a centralized committee to eliminate middleman commissions and streamline trainload shipments to the West Coast.
