The purebred Murray Grey steer was 580 kg full live-weight, and produced a 316 kg carcase weight. The carcase scored full points for fat specifications with 15 mm on the rump and 11 mm fat on the rib along with an excellent 100 cm² Eye Muscle Area, Marble score of two, and four out of five points for fat distribution.
