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.
