It looks like either a scottish highland(perhaps a young one, or one in summer coat?) or a crossbreed(I don't keep up with all the newer breeds). I would not guess yak, as it doesn't appear to have the heavy forelock fall of coat over the head, and the scottish breed is known for the chestnut coloration.
Just guessing and adding to confusion is,
Wolfy, the fount of useless information.
Ohohoh! Another cow person!! I heart cows. We will be getting my show heifer dehorned in a few weeks!
