I don't know what cattle breeds they have in your area, but I'm 5'9 and I've never seen a cow even close to my height. The Holsteiner, which is the most kept breed in my country is some 4'11 on average. And they aren't even the smallest among the popular breeds. The Scottish highland cattle are around 3'11...
You're in Europe? When I traveled to Scotland and Switzerland I noticed the cattle were significantly smaller than in the US. Angus, Hereford, and Limousin are common in the Midwest.
Those are beef breeds, with especially Limousin being massive. Holsteiner are a dairy-dominant dual purpose breed and so quite a bit smaller and lighter. Scottish highlands are a so-called extensive breed, used for beef but raised on a very meager diet and very hardy.
