Blue Grey cattle

Blue Grey is a type of beef cattle popular in Scotland and the north of England. It is traditionally produced by crossing a Whitebred Shorthorn bull with black Galloway cows. The offspring gain beefiness from their sire and hardiness from their upland dams, and their colour is a blue roan which is regarded as attractive by many farmers. The Blue Grey cross became so popular that a special type of Shorthorn was developed to produce white Shorthorn bulls – the Whitebred Shorthorn.
