Murray Grey
 The Murray Grey breed was evolved
in the upper Murray River region in
southern New South Wales, Australia in the early part of this century.
The first gray cattle resulted from the mating of an Angus bull and a
roan Shorthorn cow.
Murray Grey cattle are medium
in size and fairly early maturing The preferred color is silver-gray
although there are many variations in the shading of gray. The
calves of the breed are small at birth. The cows are good mothers and
milk well, and the calves have good rates of growth. Docility seems to
be a genuine asset of the breed both in the herd and in the feedlot. The
cattle have relatively small heads and bone and are naturally polled. Their
survival and reproductive rate has been very satisfactory under a wide
range of climatic and management conditions. Murray Greys have
high-yielding carcasses with excellent loin development and optimum fat
cover.
