[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 707830, member: 8265"] Yes, Keren, I didn't think through the early maturing part, which is the advertised strength of Square Meaters. Even if he looks better in later photos, he (or his calves) should be ready for eating as a yearling. They shipped this guy clear from Australia with a load of Lowlines. You'd think they would have picked a better bull for that expense. As for small frame Murray Greys, I was poking around a few days ago on the web looking for some and seems most everything is frame 6 or 7, unless someone can point me elsewhere. Maybe there are smaller ones in Australia? Guess I can quit fooling around and go back to getting some semen from red angus bull, frame 4 with good calving ease I see on Kit Pharo's site - also rated for udder and disposition. I do like that silver color though. I ran into an interesting study comparing body surface temperatures of black angus, hereford, and murray grey. Five degrees cooler for murray grey than angus.
