Looks like it might be one of the "older" style Simmentals. There were many of them that had this light coloring in the past. The big ears make me lean toward Simi. If it is, it should not be crossed with a black animal. These very light colored animals often produced calves called "diluters", which are discriminated against in the markets. These animals grew slowly, and had ratty tails.

Looks like a typical crossbred calf: Angus, Hereford Charolais cross, which is a result of many yellow-white faces like this calf.

We had a black baldy cow bred to a simmental that was the exact color. We named her Blondie
