Best Answer

The primary breed of dairy cattle, being the Holstein, is primarily black and white, with a few less-than-ideal Holsteins coming out as red and white. Jerseys range from fawn to black; Brown Swiss a dark brown to black; Ayrshires white with brown speckles, Guernseys a light-brown with white patches; Canadiennes are black, etc. So the primary colours range from white, black, brown, fawn and sometimes red.

No, dairy cows are not extinct. They are quite common in certain areas, living in either enclosed barns or out on pastures or fields.
