Murray Grey
The Murray Grey is an Australian cattle breed known for its versatility, high-quality beef production, and striking appearance. Originating from the upper Murray River region, this breed is a product of natural selection, encountering its inception in the early 1900s from a chance mating between a roan Shorthorn cow and an Aberdeen Angus bull. These cattle are medium to large in size, exhibiting a smooth coat that ranges from silver to dark grey, a distinct characteristic that aids in heat tolerance and insect resistance. Murray Greys are praised for their calm and docile temperament, making them manageable and farmer-friendly. They are excellent mothers with strong maternal instincts, contributing to a high calving percentage. The breed is renowned for producing finely marbled, tender beef, which is favored in premium markets. Their adaptability to various climatic conditions and efficient feed conversion rates further enhance their appeal, solidifying their global reputation as a reliable and efficient breed for beef production.
