If these are cows, they seem to be free. It doesnt look like a area with a village or farm. 1 resembles a cow, others look like a type of deer or antelope, etc. I wonder what the 2 white things are by the one on the right?

Hello Cyclonic 
Nice find. To me they look like goats.
Best regards

I agree with Felippo - goats. Or, pygmy cattle.  They're about 3 1/2 ft long. Maybe just out of the picture you would find a couple of little boy goatherds, starting with the small livestock and moving up to high-status cattle when they're older. Women and girls take care of the goats, too, but the women usually have too much else to do.

Hi Diane,
Maybe, this is a strong argument. But they are good carriers of minerals. They also help the earth breath in specific soil types they live on. Breeding goats in open fields is forbidden in my country because goats are accused of destroying the environment and of weakening the plants. But recent studies include reverse claims. In fact, there is no need for any study since the jungles in former goat-ing areas have completely faded away during the time they were taken away from their lands.

I didn't know that! Maybe goats deserve a better reputation. Thanks for the update, Tek.

Im kinda bummed their just goats lol. 
It didnt look like a area with any villages but its hard to tell outside of the hi-rez area. I figured if theyre goats they will soon be lion food, but im sure someone is watching over them off the picture.
