[QUOTE="waihou, post: 1648524, member: 6511"] I know this is an old thread but relating to our Mount Major Kingswood (au) bull Murphy, that earlier posts were not impressed by his looks, yes we used him for 2 seasons and he has passed on his marbling and low birthweight genes to his offspring. Twenty seven calves on the ground, never touched any of them at birth and they are growing out into good animals. His first crop of yearling bulls are all sold and one we have retained for heifer mating is also sold when he is finished with us, for a top price we have never achieved before in 42 years of breeding Murray Greys. His heifers are joining the herd and his two half sisters are also proving their worth, calving for the second time this spring. This bull, his son Overlord, has Wallawong Under the Radar (au) on his dams paternal line, is out of a 2 year old heifer. He was hunted for his marbling scores by a commercial breeder, in the top 2% of internationally recorded Murray Greys. He weighed 880 lbs on 19th September and piled on the weight on grass alone since then, pictured at 14 months off to his new home this week.. We feed entirely on grass (hay and silage in winter) and outdoors year round. [/QUOTE]
