Two cows cannot mate to get a calf (or "cow" in this instance). You have to have a BULL and a cow to get a baby calf. Just like you gotta have a Mom and a Dad to "make" you.
Now back to the question. If the bull is black and the cow is black, there is a high chance that you will get a black calf. However, let's increase the complexity and throw in a bit of genetic terminology in here.
Let B = black and b = red. Black is always homozygous or dominant to red in cattle.
If both the sire and dam is heterozygous black (Bb x Bb) , there is a 25% chance that you will get a red calf (bb). But if both parents are homozygous for black, there is a 100% chance that the calf will not be red, but instead, homozygous black (BB). If either one of the parents are heterozygous black, the calf still has a 100% chance that it will be black, phenotypically. But, genotypically, the calf has a 25% chance of being heterozygous black. A heterozygous black calf, no matter if it grows into a cow or a bull (depending on the calf's sex), will have a 25% chance of giving birth to or siring red calves if crossed with a heterozygous black bull or cow or a a 75% chance of siring a red calf with a red bull or cow.

Four black cows and three brown cows give as much milk in five days as three black cows and five brown cows give in four days Which color cow is a better milker and why?
The black cows are the better milkers because the amount of milk they produced per cow is greater than that from the brown cows. This is a simple algebra problem. Let x = black cow and y = brown cow, solving as such: 4x = 5 3x = 4 3y = 5 5y = 4 4x + 3x = 9 7x = 9 x = 9/7 = 1.29 units per black cow 3y + 5y = 9 8y = 9 y = 9/8 = 1.13 units per brown cow
