Murray Grey
C tier
Murray Grey is an Australian beef breed from the Murray valley region. It is not selected for commercial milk; lactation serves calf rearing. Surplus milk is rare and mild, without dairy-breed solids packaging. Murray Grey milk is not a market product. Homestead exceptions yield small household amounts. For cooking, treat any sample as lean mild cow’s milk, not a specialty dairy ingredient.
