Stud Beef Judging - Square Meaters

{{eventDetail.ShortDesc}}

Square Meaters are a new Australian breed that was developed from selected Murray Grey cattle in the 1990s. They were developed with the aim to produce a smaller animal that would mature quickly, while producing a high meat yield. The breed was recognised as a purebred in 1996. They are similar to Murray Grey’s in colour, with hides ranging from a light grey to an average brown, though their biggest difference is their height. Square Meaters are shorter, although they are not classified as a miniature breed.
