[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1305702, member: 20754"] Our Murray Grey females range from a frame score 3 to 5.5. The 50% Angus x 50% Murray Grey females are between a frame 4 and 4.5 and are very deep bodied, have great mothering instincts, and are VERY wide. They maintain excellent condition throughout the year, through drought and flooding. As first calvers, they weaned bull calves weighing over 600 lbs each. We actually purchased our foundation stock from OK Jeanne; our cows do not get any supplements other than mineral, salt, and hay occasionally. There are some years where we do not have to feed hay at all. We have found that as a breed, Murray Greys are very easy keeping. If you want a larger framed Murray Grey, there are definitely some out there. Here are a few popular AI sires that would not decrease your frame size.
