In an amazing display Murray Greys blitzed the opposition at the Perth Royal Show in both the hook and hook competition lightweight division. In the Led classes Murray Greys took the first 6 places including the Champion Lightweight and Reserve Champion Lightweight Led Steer or Heifer. Murdoch University exhibited 5 of the first 6 places with their entries all sired by Monterey Murray grey bulls. The Champion and Reserve were sired by Monterey Emperor E23.
The Carcase results saw the first 5 places filled by Murray Greys and 4 of the 5 sired by Monterey bulls including the Champion and Reserve Champion Lightweight awards.
Murdoch University Farm Manager Kim Thomas, his son Jai and students did a fantastic job promoting the Murray Grey Breed. Incidentally Jai Thomas won the Perth Royal Show’s Champion Schools Handler/Leader.
