[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1073586, member: 20754"] Rick Pisaturo determined in the early 1990's that a market existed for a specific type of beef animal. One which was fast growing and well muscled but very importantly early maturing. To do this, he used murray grey bulls from the pre-1970's such as the one shown below. These pre- 1970's bulls were much smaller in frame, but their progeny dominated carcass competitions throughout Australia. The bull shown below is Thologolong Michael, one of the most significant Murray Grey bulls in the history of the breed. (I found the photo in a book) [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/503/medium/IMG_3269_zps0dafd42d.jpg[/img] Square meaters aren't miniatures or a result of a dink gene. They were kept the same size as the cattle in the 1950's, so they didn't go through the bigger is better phase of the cattle industry. In the U.S., any murray grey that qualifies with the proper shoulder height can be registered as a square meater regardless of their ancestry. [/QUOTE]
