Holsteins are. But there are many other breeds and cross-breds that are not black and white, but instead can be all black, black with a white face, red, red with a white face, brown, yellow, tan, buckskin, blood red, orange, grey, mousy grey, etc.
They are different breeds of cows or the same breed with different colors. For instance, Holsteins can have a genetic mutation that enables the breed to produce brown-and-white Holsteins instead of the usual black-and-white ones. And, where Holsteins are black-and-white, other dairy breeds like Ayrshire and Guernsey are primarily brown-and-white.
They're just of different colourations.
In the Farmville game, however, white and brown or black cows can be sold for 6 coins. Brown cows for 12 coins and pink cows for 18 coins. Bulls are worth 80 coins.
It is actually down to genetics: DNA and the mutations that occur in DNA sequences that change protein structures and sequences and how such mutations can be maintained from one generation to another.
In all actuality, not all cows are black and white. Specific breeds are black and white such as the Holstein, the Istoben and Karan Fries. These breeds have been developed using a slightly more advanced understanding of Mendelian Genetics in order to create a pure breed that produces animals all of the same colouration--black and white, but not necessarily the same colour pattern (since this is impossible unless you clone a cow).
Also note that cows--being the mature female bovines--can be any colouration, colour pattern or colour. Not all cows are black and white, just like not all bulls are brown or black and have horns (That's Disney for you). Only those cows of a particular breed like those mentioned above are black and white, and the same with the aforementioned bulls. A mature female bovine that has given birth to a calf can be solid black, solid red, red and white, solid white, solid brown, brown with horns, grey, etc.
Here's another fun fact: All Holstein cows are horned. They have just been disbudded when they were tiny calves. If they were not disbudded (or "dehorned" to some), then those cows would all be black and white with horns.
It is like blondes and brunettes, they have different genes and stem from different places originally. I wonder if most bulls prefer the white cows sexually?

One in every five cows would have black and white coats in this herd. Using this ratio you can determine how many black and white coated cows would occur in similar herds of differing sizes.

Riggit Galloway and Lineback cattle are both black with a white stripe down the back, although the Riggit Galloway can also be red or dun colored. Both breeds also have white along their stomachs and some Riggit Galloway have white on their faces as well.
There are black and white cows that have horns. The most commonly known dairy cattle that is black and white is the Holstein breed. All Holsteins are born with the genetics to grow horns. However, majority of cows, as calves, are dehorned days after birth.

holsteins.they are black and white cows
No. Black Angus cows are all black. You can only get black cows with white faces if they have a sire as a Hereford or traditional Simmental. These cows are called "black baldies" and should never considered as purebred Angus because they are not purebred at all: they are crossbreds.

yes there are red cows, aswell as tan, black, and white as well
you should stop
No. Some have white rumps, others have patchy black-and-white rumps. A few have black ones.
You are thinking of the oh-so-popular Holstein dairy cow, which are predominantly black and white. However, not most nor are all cows black and white. Many are brown, grey, black, white, yellow or buckskin, orange, red, and with variations of white in them, such as roan, white-face, speckled, dorsal-striped, etc.
Most white with black spots or most black with white spots. However you want to look at it. Some carry a recessive gene that makes them red instead of black. Those are called Red Holstein. Not really creative but effective description.
no. they rode on camels. ancient egyptians didnt have black n white cows.
The frequency is found by dividing the number of black and white cattle by the total number of cattle. Therefore, the math is 16/80, which is a frequency of 20%.
Holsteins are big cows and they are black and white.
