Matt Morris and Arabella Morris, Murray grey breeders in Melba, Idaho, operate in Owyhee County and Treasure Valley near Boise.

They have been raising Murray grey cattle for several years, maintain detailed pedigree records, and follow breed association guidelines with routine veterinary health checks, including ultrasounds and vaccinations. Their herd grazes on lush pasture with rotational grazing and open shelters, where cattle have access to fresh water and shade year-round.

As a family-run farm, they emphasize transparent breeding records, balanced selection for temperament and conformation, and environmentally conscious practices. Their approach to low-stress handling and participation in local livestock events reflects a commitment to quality, and they regularly share insights with other regional breeders. Their cattle are known for adaptability in varied conditions, a trait valued by ranchers across the state.
