360 head entered
34 vendors
100-day feedlot program
Judged across feedlot performance, weight gain & carcase merit
And in a field dominated by major commercial breeds — Angus, Black Simmental, Santa Gertrudis, Speckle Park, Brangus, and their composites — the Murray Greys stood tall.
Ondiong Murray Greys ranked:
• Equal 4th in feedlot performance
• Equal 1st in carcase performance
→ Giving them the points to secure Overall Grand Champion Group
Here are the stats that secured the win from the pen of 5 head:
• HSCW: 319–349kg
• Rib Fat: 7–12mm | P8 Fat: 10–15mm
• Marbling: up to score 4
• EMA: 73–85cm²
• Dressing %: 55–57%
• MSA Index: mid–high 60s
Even more impressively, Murray Greys placed equal second in the individual carcase results, standing alongside Kamarra Grazing and beaten only by the Belview Brangus team — a massive achievement in a highly competitive field.
Paul Francis summed it up perfectly:
“𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒚 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏𝒆.”
A brilliant outcome for the breed and a great reminder of the strength Murray Greys bring to both stud and commercial operations.
