The Ukrainian Grey (Ukrainian: Сіра українська порода, sira ukrayin'ska) is an ancient Ukrainian breed of Podolian cattle. It is a hardy breed, and was traditionally used both for meat and for draught power. It is similar to other European steppe cattle breeds such as the Hungarian Grey and the Italian Podolica.
