Paul Heinrich Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Possibly a red variant of the Holstein Friesan breed. Not enough red to be a Hereford but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 That's either a cow, a pony or a large dog. Did it say ruff ruff or moo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm not a cow expert, but isn't it a Holstein Friesian calf? And he definitely looks like a 'Colin' to me! Or maybe 'Steve' - I've always wanted a pet cow called Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 if you know the location it is worth using Google street view to have a look at the farm entrance - some farms specialise in a particular breed and advertise that on their signage. Similarly, googling the farm may provide some information which points you in the right direction. The ear tag IDs the creature individually, but I don't know of any publically accessible database which you can refer to to get the ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
