Most likely the cow is either a Hereford X Angus cross that is how you get that color pattern most of the time. So you can say it could be a mini Hereford crossed with Angus, or maybe a Dexter Bull bred to a Hereford cow, or it could even be a Lowline Angus bull bred to a Hereford cow. And that last option is that it could be from inbred parents and that is why it is small. Hope that helps some.
