[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 387640, member: 539"] The biggest obstacle Murray Grey's face is the fact that so few people know anything about them. They are an absolutely awesome breed! Very good mothers, very good milkers, low birth weight, yet they grow like weeds once they hit the ground, docile, easy to handle, one of the few breeds that can finish exclusively on grass, good marbling, the list goes on and on. Fortunately, the early maturation is not something that happens on a very regular basis - I mean think about it. We calved from mid-March to the first of June, factor in a 60 day breeding season starting the first part of June, and there would be hell to pay if early maturation was a standard thing! :shock: Thanks to the low birth weights, the heifers in question had their calves with some help as opposed to cesaeran(sp?), and went on to take productive places in the herd, but I sure wouldn't want to have a whole bunch of heifers calving at 12 months of age! :shock: [/QUOTE]
