Best Answer

The first Murray Greys were not "introduced", but were bred accidentally. They appeared in a herd of black Angus cattle at the property known as Thologolong in the upper Murray River Valley in 1905. Although initially embarrassing for the Black Angus breeders, the Sutherland family, the calves proved to be a hardy, strong breed that grew quickly. By the 1960s, they were established as a popular breed.
