[QUOTE="Keren, post: 294379, member: 3195"] I have worked with the sutherlands who developed the breed . . . they are an interesting bunch, very nice friendly people. They have stated that the breed arose when a particular shorthorn cow was bred to aberdeen angus bulls and produced grey calves, which they called mulberries. They would have been culled except Mrs Sutherland liked them. I have found no reason to doubt what they say. However, considering the number of breeders of murray greys now, I would think it would be impossible to tell whether every single breeder had been 100% honest about the breeding of their animals. Beef11 makes an interesting point about the breeds which were in Australia at the time of MG breed development. However, my point is, yes the first MGs were shorthorn angus. But its impossible to tell what has happened in the breed since then. Our MGs are 100% pure (or 100% cross, depending how you look at it) - going back to the first sutherland animals - angus x shorthorn [/QUOTE]
