According to Australian legend, Peter Sutherland of New South Wales who owned they Thologolong property had the first Murray Grey calf born there in 1905. The legend goes on to say that this cow when bred to various Angus bulls dropped only grey calves. Mrs. Helen Sutherland later started a systemic breeding program of Murray Greys with 8 cows and 4 bulls. In the early 1940's Mervyn Gadd started a second herd of MG's that was commercially-based, using a Grey bull from the Sutherlands and using him to breed up Gadd's Angus cows.

When was the Murray Grey introduced into Australia?

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.
