Since seeing only the head makes it a little hard to be sure, but I would say red & white holstein although they usually have a darker nose. She is more red than most guernseys, but there has been some r&w hol used in them and she doesn't have the head of eithe a guernsey or an ayshire.

It's really hard to tell with just a head-shot. She could be an R&W Holstein, if she looks something like this:

Not the same cow although similiar. The professionally posed cow does not have any horn stubs, the white on the face is wider from the eyes down and flares more around the nose.

I agree Jan, not the same cow, but both are very similar in appearance. Even length of the head from poll to snout is almost identical. I think we have a winner. :)

I didn't say or infer they were the same cow--they obviously are not. I just illustrated the similar color patterns on that breed.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought when you highlighted the section by the front leg that you were suggesting that it was the same cow. They are alot similiar but somehow I am thinking that it is not a R & W holstein. Unfortunately so many of the guernseys have seen an infusion of r & w to try to get them taller and bigger and make more milk and I understand that there has been some of that in some ayrshires too. Then there are some other breeds being used like sweedish and norweigan reds and others that I am just not familiar with that could look like this. I did google and found some that are red but none as close as a R & W holstein.
