The term "mini tornado" does not have an exact definition. It has been applied to a number of different phenomena. Some people have called small whirlwinds such as dust devils mini tornadoes. Such whirlwinds are not actual tornadoes but may superficially resemble them.

News outlets in Australia and Europe may sometimes refer to the tornadoes they get as "mini tornadoes," even in instances of large, significant tornadoes. They equivocate like this because they are reluctant to admit that tornadoes occur in those areas.

People may occasionally call small, weak tornadoes mini tornadoes.

Can a mini tornado pick up a cow?

That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado," as there is no real definition for the term. Some people apply the term to whirlwinds such as dust devils, which aren't really tornadoes. In that case, then no. Sometimes, especially outside of the U.S. tornadoes with relatively narrow damage paths are referred to as "mini tornadoes," regardless of intensity. In that case, such a tornado may be able to lift up a cow depending on how intense it is. One tornado in France in 2008, which some outlets called a "mini tornado" caused isolated F4 damage. Such a tornado could pick up cows and much larger objects.

What do subvorticies mean as features of a tornado?

Subvortices are smaller vortices, almost like mini tornadoes, within the main vortex of a tornado. These subvortices have stronger winds than the main vortex, and result in a tornado with a continuous damage path with intermittent areas of more severe damage.
