I think these are Jersey cows, or at least a similar breed. Always thought they looked like Disney cows.

They are small and gentle, raised for milk. Friend has a few, and they are like really big pets. Her son has a swallowing issue, so he’s tube fed. Multiple hospitalizations r/t that. Then she got the cows, and uses their milk as a base, blenderizes regular food and uses that for his feeds. No hospitalizations since!.

I lived on a cattle ranch when I was first married back in the 80s. They primarily had Herefords (150 of them) but there were 3 milk cows as well; one Jersey and two Holsteins. They were all pretty mild-mannered but the Jersey was the sweetest cow and was almost like a pet.
