In summary

From Late Middle High German verse, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *farsijā, derived (with Verner alternation) from Proto-Germanic *farzaz (“bull, ox”), whence obsolete German Farre. Cognate with Dutch vaars.
The word is not attested in High German before the 15th century and apparently alien to modern dialects outside the borderlands with Low German. Therefore likely borrowed through Middle Low German and/or Middle Dutch verse (13th c.). Older words for “heifer” were (Upper German) Kalbe and (Central German) Sterke.
