Can you cross your Murray grey cows with a belted galloway bull?

Yes, since this will really put the emphasis on heterosis for MG-Galloway X calves. Belted Galloways are relatively the same size as MG's are, so the calves will come out nice and small, but VERY growthy. Heterosis, by the way, is achieved by breeding one breed of bovine with an unrelated different breed of bovine to get a calf that is superior (genotypically and phenotypically) to either of its parents.
