The detail
Murray Greys come from the Murray River valley in Australia, starting from grey calves out of a roan Shorthorn cow by Angus bulls. They are polled, silver to dun, very docile and known for efficient growth and marbled beef on grass.
What to weigh
Murray Greys are less common in the US, so good bulls and registered cows can take time to find. Their pale hides with dark skin handle sun well, but a smaller gene pool means asking about relatedness.
