I just checked the first village you mentioned (Mag Arba) as well (though in a save I carried over from the previous version of the game), and I also see the cows, even though it is a flax-producing village.
Maybe you can change the thread title to something like "Visual bug with village production" (found a thread with this name for a similar issue in November... though that is already resolved), which would probably get a quicker response from a Taleworlds forum mod/admin.
Edit: Nevermind, just saw that the thread title already has "Display Issue" added to it.
