An image of a Holstein Friesian, the breed responsible for the recording.
This sound effect can be found on The Premiere Edition Volume 1, which was made by The Hollywood Edge. The first two moos were originally a Valentino sound effect titled Valentino Cow Moo 2, and the last one was excerpted from another Valentino sound titled Valentino Cow Herd. It was likely recorded from a Holstein Friesian.
