[QUOTE="waihou, post: 797749, member: 6511"] I'm sure OK Jeanne will be able to elaborate on US Murray Greys more than I can, but ultimately they all descend from a chance mating on an Angus stud in the Albury region of Victoria Australia in 1905 to a white cow used as the Station house cow. There is some dispute as to whether she was actually a white or light roan Shorthorn or a Galloway? Here in the Southern Hemisphere all Murray Greys are based on a breeding up programme of Angus only. Though very little grading up is done here in NZ nowadays anyway. Most of our market is to provide bulls with low birth weight EBV's (EPD's for you)xfor mating to dairy heifers. As you may or may not know the dairy cow population outnumbers the human population here. The cross bred MGx dairy beef animals are in demand for rearing for the local trade (supermarket) beef industry. Easy calving, good growth, good marbling, fatten on grass only, polled, excellent temperament-what else can I say :D ? [/QUOTE]
