Rätisches Grauvieh

The Rätisches Grauvieh is an endangered Swiss breed of cattle from the Graubünden in eastern Switzerland.

It is a smaller type of the Tiroler Grauvieh breed of Alpine grey cattle.

In 1985 the population was re-established by the introduction of cattle of the similar Albula type from Austria.

Like the Rhaetian Alps, it is named after the Ancient Roman province of Rhaetia.

In 1985, cattle of the Albula type were re-introduced to the area from Austria by ProSpecieRara in order to re-establish the breed.
