Looks to me like a Charolais crossed with some red or yellow hided critter.

If she is dairy, I'd say those eyes look Guernsey. Cute as a button!

Charolais was my first guess too, because they do raise beef as well, but my sister says her sire was a scotch highland and the mother a Jersey.....I think she will look real funny in the milk barn when she is older.....

She looks more golden that that in the picture.
She should be a very good milk cow though.
Both those breeds are good milkers.

My first thought was Highland-something, then GuernseyXJersey, for the color...but then the former is about that color, too.
Gorgeous calf, that one!

No worry; they are a commercial dairy operation.....no calf gets through without being dehorned.

Uhhh no......I am a transplant, the pics are my sister's farm in Vermont.....her calf also..... the farm's for sale, but will probably be sold to a developer for condos.....mountian in the background is Burke mountian, ski resort. They will be moving their milking operation to a less desirable farm after the sale.
