[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1692826, member: 40255"] The one hereford I put with the Murray Grey bull was a first calf heifer and she had a huge calf, that did not survive. Which made me cautious of doing a cross with the hereford again. The other was a hereford cow that had calved twice before, I don't know what happened exactly but she lost the calf, and it was much bigger than she normally had. Just one of those experiences that can make a person cautious of repeating that cross. The breeder I bought from had well muscled calves and was running straight Murrey Grey bulls and cows. The calves my cows dropped from the Murray Grey were comparable in height to angus calves but thicker built and the only calving problems I ever had while using the Murray Greys were the two I mentioned above. I would look at some other Murray Grey bulls and see what is out there. Both the bulls I had at different times had nice temperaments and I got quiet calves. Of course the cross you choose to make will hinge partly on what people are looking for. [/QUOTE]
