[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 347224, member: 3333"] The "whole herd reporting"(mandatory) was what split the American Murray Grey Association and the International Murray Grey assoc was born. The American group made mandatory whole herd reporting(and a yearly cow "tax") required; without a membership vote. There were a few people on that board that were gung-ho on EPD systems and wanted everyone to be paying for the system; plus that extra money for the board to fluff off was a plus. Now the Murray Grey International assoc costs [u][i][b]20.00US dollars[/b][/i][/u] per year dues and calves can be registered for $10. canadian(about 7-8 us dollars)there is no annual cow "tax" - and breeding "up" is allowed if using purebred murray bulls. Presently the MGIA is the largest assoc in North America and probably gaining on the membership of the Australian group. The MGIA has a website, newsletters, annual breeder directory, free "for sale" ads on the website -- and no paid employees. Breeders can participate in an EPD system if the want to -- and if they pay for it themselves instead of shoving the cost onto everyone else. See their website: [url=http://www.murraygrey.org]http://www.murraygrey.org[/url] It is absolutely correct, IMO, that not every calf born, no matter how high quality the pedigree, is suitable for breeding stock----and that's why it's a good idea to be versatile enough to develop a freezer beef buyer list.
