Found them at Flickr.com. Used search and typed in cows. The good pictures are like trying to find a needle in a haystack but you can look at photograghers from around the world. Have some others I'll put up.

I have a print of a Shorthorn bull named Fond Memory that was used on a 1914 calender produced by W.H. Miner, Heart's Delight Farms,, Chazy, NY.
The caption below the picture reads" This famous bull heads our great herd of purebred selected Shorthorns. He was first place in class in the Chicago International Live Stock Exposition of 1909, and accurately reflects the distinguished traits of his world famous sire " Whitehall Sultan". Fond Memory arouses the enthusiasm of all who see him on account of his splendid conformation and trueness of type.
It also says beside the picture " What we admire we praise, and when we praise, advance it into notice, that by it's worth acknowledged, other may admire it too" ... And here I thought it was only some of the posts on SP that were hard to understand!
This picture is about 30" wide so I have not been able to scan it. I found it in a silent auction being held at a livestock convention. An Angus breeder said he had found it in his attic years before and had no use for it, so he donated it to the convention. It is fully framed and in original shape yet.
I also have some pictures of some of my grandfather's Shorthorns back in the 20s and 30s. I have a large certificate presented to my grandfather for the best beef bull at the 1918 Colgate fair and it has pictures of Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford bulls and females all around the outside. I would give my eye teeth for most of the cattle pictured today. They were absolutely incredible beasts.
