His passion in life has been for the breed and what Australia's own beef breed could do for the beef cattle industry. So it is only natural that Peter became very involved with the Murray Greys, their breeding really enthused Peter and he started his own stud, "Kimolong" in his early twenties, and eventually Thologolong Murray Greys. His mother Helen is recognised as the founder of the Murray Grey breed, and his father was a horseman, sheep and cattleman, managing an Angus stud and a commercial herd and also a Murray Grey stud with Helen. Peter was brought up with cattle in his blood. Peter has been breeding Murray Greys for more than 60 years and believes he has now bred the ultimate Murray Grey Bull, Thologolong Again-N-Agin. This land is now known as Thologolong Parish and has been divided to become many Upper Murray farming properties. From 1885, these Angus cattle were still the foundation of the Murray Grey Breed at the turn of the century. Peter and Gina Sutherland run their stud Thologolong Murray Greys and a small number of Angus cattle that go back to the original Aberdeen Angus cattle that Peter Sutherland, (Peter's Grandfather) farmed on the original Thologolong parcel of land.
