Mr Gray, then aged 66, was last seen leaving his home address on Bunnaloo Rd, Mathoura, on Friday, September 11, 2015.
He was driving a white Holden Rodeo 4WD with a cage on the back and registration AG4 6AJ.
Mr Gray has not been heard from or seen since and his bank accounts have not been accessed, and police and family hold grave concerns for his welfare because of the length of time he has been missing.
Mr Gray’s brothers, Peter and Barry, said he devoted his life to sheep and farming, and his disappearance was out of character.
“We find it amazing that after six long years, he still hasn’t been sighted or heard from,” they said.
“We are encouraged by the police investigation and hope to be reunited with Ian soon.”
Officers attached to Murray River Police District have reopened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr Gray’s disappearance under Strike Force Kirkne.

As investigations continue, NSW Police Force – with Mr Gray’s family – are appealing for anyone who may have information about his disappearance to contact police.
Murray River Police District crime manager Detective Chief Inspector Mick Stoltenberg said someone must know something about Ian’s disappearance.
“Even the smallest of clues could be the missing piece to the puzzle that police need,” he said.
“His family deserves to know the truth about why he disappeared without a trace all those years ago.”
