[QUOTE="Australian, post: 799109, member: 8793"] Great to see some very good pictures of Murray Greys posted. They have had a mixed response with lots of breeders here in Australia. Yes they are very good vealer cattle, but have been overshadowed these days in the showring to what they were as far as steer exhibiton goes. They used to win all the time but now are overtaken by Limousin or a number of crosses with MG. Some steer showers use the MG to soften the often hard continental breeds. I have noted that MGs need softer country to do really well, they don't perform that well on poor coastal country but when crossed with Brahman they do ok. Here we don't see in the showring these days the bigger volume MG cattle that could stand well up in the line up of interbreed classes. It was quite common to see MGs figure up near the top in these classes, now they are overshadowed by predominately Charolais, sometimes Gelbvieh and occasionally Angus. But then maybe the custom fitters have more of these other breeds, where as before maybe a few of these fitters had MGs in their charge. never the less whether you like them or not they have their place and have done a lot for the beef industry here in temperate Australia.
