Oreo cookie cows? Yes, there are "belted" bovines out there (you're not seeing things!). What kind of belted cows are there? According to the "A Field Guild to Cows" there are several possibilities. One is the Dutch Belted. These bovines are relatively small in stature (for a cow) and have a smooth coat. They are black on both ends and have a white belt around the middle that is at least 6" wide. Another possibility is a belted Galloway (not all Galloways are belted). They can be brownish black, red or dun. They are stockily built and in the winter are shaggy. Finally, Welsh Blacks and Swiss Browns can be belted, but these are rarer.
