The Bazadaise or Grise de Bazas is a French breed of beef cattle. It takes its name from the town of Bazas in the département of the Gironde, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of south-western France, and originates in the low-lying areas to the south of the River Garonne near that town.[4]: 124  A festival, the Fête des Boeufs Gras, is held each year in Bazas to present fattened Bazadaise stock.
