[QUOTE="SPRINGER FARMS MURRAY GRE, post: 85865, member: 95"] The Murray Grey is one of the fastest growing breeds in the country. The Murray Grey International Association now has members/breeders in almost every state as well as Canada and South America, as well as Australia, and New Zealand. We get new members every month. Also, you can get on the net and do a little research to find the results of the Calgary Stampede carcass trials for the past two years. When I went into the business, I did a lot of research, looking at several factors, among them calving ease, and disposition among others, before deciding on this breed. I can assure you, the breed is no joke, the problem as I see it, and I agree with Vickie the V is that most of the breeders are small outfits and do not have the capital to promote the breed as others have been. The breed has always been up there with angus as the most popular breed for import into Japan. All breeds have "knotheads", or underdeveloped offspring, and should not be used for breeding purposes.
