"We beat the creators of the breed": the coveted Murray Grey bull from a Buenos Aires ranch chosen as the best in the world
A Murray Grey bull named Rama, from a ranch in Buenos Aires, has been crowned World Champion at an international competition.
A premium Murray Grey bull, named Rama, bred in the southwest of Buenos Aires Province, has achieved the prestigious title of World Champion in an international competition that gathered the finest specimens of the breed worldwide. This accolade was awarded to Rama, belonging to La Trinidad Ranch, owned by the Picco family, whose facilities are spread across Cañuelas, Bordenave, and Darregueira in the Puan district of Buenos Aires. The competition acknowledged Rama's outstanding qualities, setting him apart among other global contenders.
The Champions of the World Competition, organized by the Canadian platform Orb Breede, aims to identify top champions from major livestock exhibitions globally, including renowned events such as Palermo. The rigorous selection process began in September 2025, leading to the recent conclusion where Rama triumphed over bulls from various continents, including those from Australia, the breed's country of origin. The recognition of Rama in this prestigious competition highlights not only his quality as an individual animal but also the breeding excellence present in Argentina.
Rama’s victory is a significant achievement for Argentine agriculture, showcasing the country's capabilities in livestock production. The success of the La Trinidad ranch emphasizes the importance of local ranching practices and the genetic quality that can be achieved through selective breeding. This win could also bolster interest in Murray Grey cattle both within Argentina and internationally, possibly opening doors for increased export opportunities and fostering further investment in the livestock sector.
