Dosn't need to be a show cow just a good producer with a heifer calf.

Why are you looking for a Murray Grey?
I had a Murray Grey bull, was crossing him on Limo and Simmental heifers. We found that they hit a certain stage and stop growing. We were told ahead of time they would, and sure enough, they did.
If you are set on getting one, do a search with a search engine. There used to be some breeders of Murray Grey in Oregon.

Well, My bull hit about 2000lbs before he stopped growing. I think genetics is the key here. The frame isn't as big as some breeds, but they have other things going on. They are easy going, hold their weight well, easy calving ( havn't pulled a calf in eight years), and man are they good eatin'. To some, size just doesn't matter.

I don't mean to be a downer..but that is ONE ugly bull, lol. I mean he's a good looking bull but he's scary looking! If I was in a pasture with him, I wouldn't be there very long, lol. I think I'd pee my pants if he walked up to me. I wouldn't pet him if you paid me to! LOL!
He looks like a buffalo.

Actually he's, In the words of John Wayne in the shootist, " an old man , afraid of the dark". One quick step in his direction and he runs like a wipped pup. I kind ‘a like it that way. Another note on genetics. Any breed can have inferior and superior individuals. I’ve heard limo’s are psycho and I’m sure some are, but I doubt it’s a breed trait. Growth rate has a lot to do with genetics, as does calving ease, ability to utilize feed and docility. More so, than it has to do with breed

Yeah he even looks at me and I cry and pee my pants. It's hard to even look at the picture. It looks like he wants to kill you. DO you have a name?! If not, it should be Manny, the maneater!
