Square Meater

The Square Meater is an Australian breed of medium-framed, polled cattle that were developed by Rick Pisaturo of Mandalong Park near Sydney in the early 1990s from a base of Murray Grey genetics.

Despite their stature they have excellent muscling and perform well in steer and carcass competitions.

Square Meater have small frames and short legs, and are naturally polled, but they are not considered to be a miniature breed.

The conformation of adult cattle resembles that of the Murray Grey, the breed from which they were originally derived.

They have a fast growth rate and are thrifty, more cattle being able to graze on a particular acreage than traditional European breeds.
