Local Murray Grey wins show championship at expo
Local farmer Melvin Haak's heifer Miss Springfield captured the Grand Champion Heifer award at the 1988 Northern International Livestock Exposition in Billings Montana held in October. Canadian entries previously took the top prize for two years running. Haak, with 14 years raising Murray Grey cattle, praised University of Illinois testing and noted his herd's prior grand championships in 1983 and 1984. Murray Grey cattle trace to Australia and are prized for condition size and carcass cutability.
