They don't. It's simply not possible. The only way a black cow can "have" a white calf is if the white calf has been adopted by that cow because her calf had died at birth and the white calf had no mother because it's mother either rejected it or died giving birth to it. It's new surrogate mother then happened to be a black cow.

Can a black cow and a black bull have a white calf?
No, never.
Can a black cow and a bull have a white calf?
No. Black is a dominant colour, no matter what colour the bull is. If the bull is white, the calf will be grey. If a bull is black, the calf will be black; if a bull is a blue roan, the calf will be most likely a darker roan or even black; if a bull is red or brown, the calf will be black; if a bull is yellow or orange the calf will be either grey or black.
What color is the calf if you breed a black bull with a white cow?
That all depends on the breed[s] of either the sire and the dam.Basically, though, if the black bull is Angus, and the white cow is Charolais, then the calf that results will come out grey.
How does a white cow and black bull make a spotted cow?
They don't. That has never happened before, and likely never will. When you cross a White Shorthorn cow with a Black Angus bull you will get a grey calf (this is how the Murray Grey breed came about, by the way). The same thing occurs if you put a Black Angus bull on a Charolais cow.
How do you get a black calf with a white face?
You can either buy one--off a local producer who sells such calves or from your local salebarn--or you can get one yourself by breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull (or a Hereford cow with an Angus bull). Even breeding a modern-type Simmental cow with an Angus bull (or vice versa) will get you a black-baldy calf.

Can you get a pure black calf from a baldy hereford and a black angus?
No. A Hereford already has a white face, so no use calling Herefords "baldy herefords." The genes for a white face is dominant to that of a coloured face like black, red, tan, etc. So, if you bred an Angus bull with a Hereford cow you will ultimately and always get a calf that is black with a white face. The only time you will get a small (16%) chance of getting a purely black calf is if you breed an F1 black baldy cow with an F1 black baldy bull. Another 16% will give you an all black calf that is horned (from the genes of the calf's grandsire or granddam, which ever was a Hereford (non-polled)). However, if you breed an Angus bull to an F1 black baldy cow, you will have a 50% chance of getting a pure-black calf.
If two black cows have a baby cow what color will that cow be?
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.
What is a male cow's offspring called?
There is no such thing as a male cow. A cow is a mature female bovine that had had a calf, and a bull is an intact male bovine. So the young offspring of a bull and cow is a calf.
Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.
What is the offspring of a cow and a bull called?
The offspring of a cow and a bull is called a calf. If the calf is female, she is referred to as a heifer calf. If the calf is male, then he, unless castrated after birth, is called a bull calf. Castrated calves are called steer calves.
What are the parents of calf?
Mother, being the cow, is the dam. Father, being the bull, is the sire.
What is the birth ratio of bulls to cows?
There's a 50% chance that a cow will give birth to a bull calf. Same with heifers. Therefore the ratio is 1:1 that a cow will be mother to a bull (bull calf) or a future cow (heifer calf)
