Right before Halloween we went to a local spot of land where the city has protected about an acre for a generational family owned farm to grow corn, pumpkins, etc. They do a tiny corn maze and tractor rides, etc. for the kids.

This year then had a cow and some goats in a pen. Here's a pic of my little April and the young cow.

Too cute!

Since I honestly know nothing about cows, anybody know the breed / sex?

Full blooded Jersey calf about 4-6 months old.
You can't tell sex by that angle. Sometimes you can tell by looking head on if they look bullish in the face.
It's more likely this is a bull/steer because the difference in price between a heifer and a bull in a Jersey is about $500 and they likely wouldn't risk that kind of $$ with a heifer in a petting zoo.
I do wish those horns were removed-- especially when they are around children. That is definitely not wise by the owners.

Your little girl is definitely cute, but the calf would be a lot cuter if the horns were removed. I would guess Jersey, but since I breed cows artificially as a business, I would have trouble determining sex from that end. The other end---no problem!
