[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14094"] As a Murray Grey breeder, I have to agree with Vicki. Take a look at the breed. I, too, think a Murray Grey bull with good epd's would be a great choice. Our Murray Greys have been crossed locally with everything from Jersey's to Milking Shorthorns to commercial cattle and the only calving difficulty has been the rare backwards calf. Otherwise, the owners say the calves just "popped out." It's not only the low birthweight but the fact the Murray Greys have sloping shoulders that slide out easily during calving that make them a good choice. Here's another resource for Murray Grey information. You might also contact the Australian Murray Grey Society for a nice packet of information. > Not meaning to be a heretic, but > have you considered Murray Grey? > They cross very well with dairy > breeds, I've seen a couple crossed > with Galloways and it worked, and > they are very docile.
