I did a search on "Murray Gray X's" as you suggested, but it ignores the X's and returns 101 pages. Do you have a link?
I don't have anything right now. I live in Georgia, and hope to move to some land in the next couple of years. Hoping to be on 50 acres. We ran about a half dozen to a dozen (depending on season) hereford when I was a kid in California.
I'm getting out of the army this summer. So, I figure if I can save a bit of money over then next year or two, I can finally buy some land and get back to raising animals again, without having to worry about being deployed and leaving the wife to handle them alone. (She's a great gal, but that's not fair to expect of her.) I've been waiting 25 years to get back to the country, and if/when I do, I'd like have some cattle again.
I've been researching the different breeds. Nothing wrong with hereford, but I thought I'd try something new. I like the idea of the senepol being slick coated and better addapted for the heat. I also like red angus. But frankly, the murray gray's that I've seen look better than either. So, I was wondering what a murray grey x senepol would look like.
My guess is that the silver Murray Gray is a black, influence by a diluter gene. But the web site isn't very helpful. So, probably the senepole influence would pass on the slick coat (it's dominant) but not influence the color, because red is recessive. But the next generation would probably throw a red (diluted to dun? or yellow?) about 1 in 4 times.
Was wondering if anyone's been down this road before, and what they think.
