Murray Grey Beef Cattle Society Indexes

BREEDPLAN and the Murray Grey Beef Cattle Society have recently completed a review and revision of the selection indexes available to Australian Murray Grey cattle producers. The revised indexes were released in conjunction with the July 2023 Murray Grey BREEDPLAN analysis results.

There are now 5 selection indexes that are available to Murray Grey producers and these are the:

  • Vealer Terminal Index (VT)
  • Supermarket Index (SUP)
  • Heavy Grass Fed Steer Index (GF)
  • Northern Terminal Index (NT)
  • Breeder Replacement Index (BR)

The objective of the selection indexes is to better reflect the breeding objectives of commercial herds that utilise Murray Grey genetics.
