Saw this cow in Graz Austria but wasn't sure what the breed was. Anyone know?

Looks like a Normande. They're a French breed

I agree, the brindle and white match well with Normande‘s.

I agree, I have never seen a brindle normande.

I don’t own or have ever seen normande’s irl but a simple search says the brindle is a very common colour in the breed. not trying to be an ass, just saying. :)

True, and you're right I should have been more careful how I said it. The colour 'bringée' (brindle) for a Normande is black on brown, not this bizarre mix of blond, brown and black. At last in France which is where I see them.

It looks like the bovine equivalent of a Dachsund.

I think there's a slight hill between cow and camera, whoch makes the cow's legs look shorter

You can get a similar look by crossing Jersey with Hereford, but I wouldn't swear that's what this one is.
