Our Cattle
At Glanmire Murray Grey Stud, our breeding objectives are carefully crafted to produce cattle that excel in every aspect of modern beef production. We focus on six key areas that ensure our animals are not only producing an extremely high quality and profitable meat product, but are also easy to manage and work with:
​
​
FERTILITY
We prioritize high reproductive rates, selecting for cows that consistently produce and raise healthy calves year after year. This emphasis on fertility translates to improved herd productivity and profitability
for our clients.
EASY MANAGEMENT
Time is valuable, so we select for traits that simplify
day-to-day operations. From calving ease to feed efficiency, our cattle are bred to reduce labour, costs and streamline management practices.
DOCILITY
Our Murray Greys are known for their calm temperament and their natural mothering ability. We believe that docile cattle are safer to handle, perform better, and produce higher quality meat. This trait is essential for both small-scale and large operations.
BEEF PRODUCTION
Quality and quantity are at the forefront of our breeding program. We focus on optimal growth rates, feed efficiency, and superior carcass traits to ensure our cattle meet and exceed market demands both commercially and in a farm to table business model.
​
EASE OF DOING
We breed cattle that thrive in various environments with minimal intervention. Our animals are adaptable, hardy, and require less intensive management, making them ideal for diverse farming situations.
SOUND STRUCTURE
Longevity begins with a solid foundation. We place great importance on structural correctness, selecting for animals with proper conformation that will remain productive for years to come.
OUR SIRES...
Woodburn Spruce 4W S73
We purchased Tasmanian sire, Woodbourn Spruce 4W S73, for $23,000 as the top priced bull in the 2023 Woodbourn Sale.
Spruce is a long, soft and smooth bodied type with great capacity and thickness throughout. He's a very well balanced ball with great visual appeal.
Spruce comes with with a very low birthweight figure of +3.2 along with excellent 200 and 400 day weights, great for getting into the14 to 18 months old steer market.
He has excellent numbers in milk, EMA and very positive fats across the board. Huge index figures into the bargain make this bull a very worthy addition to our herd.

We will have Spruce straws available for purchase in the near future.
