That's the first thing that came to mind... maybe a veal calf. If its a hobby farm it could be a dexter steer http://www.dextercattle.org/
or another miniature breed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_cattle
Looks interesting K! :thumb:

The last brisket I did, I overcooked. And never fear, this one I undercooked. It was fairly dry. Because it didn't pull apart when pulled, I'm taking that to mean undercooked. I missed the flavor of my usual heavy rub of just salt and coarse pepper. It was still tasty. Tasted a lot like restaurant brisket. :doh: (Serious!)
Total cook time was 6:30hr at 250*. I intended to crank the heat up to 275*+, to help with the drying out, but initially it seemed to be cooking faster already. It had two long stalls, one at ~180 and then another one at 190*. I found this odd. I thought the flat was probing pretty tender, but... Next time, I might need to experiment with this new age foil stuff while cooking...
My wife and I had it for dinner and I vac sealed up 3 - 1/2# bags for tacos and nachos. I wouldn't be scared to do another one this size. It was nice to be able to do a brisket and not have to invite the neighborhood over to help.
I got photos, nothing special of finished result. It looks like a brisket.
