The Tasmanian Gray is a cattle species, which is named after its bright gray shading of its coat.
Its coat colors are either bright gray, silver gray, or gray. Bill Reed of Parknook crossed an Angus bull with a white Shorthorn milking cow that produced gray offspring. Having observed the superior milking qualities, docility, hardiness, and the ability of the gray colour to dominate after 20 years of breeding to Angus bulls it was decided to retain a bull calf in 1960.
