Buffaloes are not black. Most of them are a brown to dark brown, not black. This is called a "wild-type" colouration, a colouration that is very ancient.

Cows are also not all white. Cows come in a wide variety of colours, including the same wild-type colouration that buffalo (and bison) are found in. Other colours that cows are commonly found in are black, grey, orange, red, yellow or buckskin, brown, goldish-brown, dark grey, blood-red, mahogany red and of course, white. A lot of these colours also come in various patterns of white mixed in, including roan, speckled, spotted, patchy, dorsal striped, white underbelly and legs, or pointed (white with black (or red) ears, nose, eyes, udder/scrotum, and hooves). Some breeds can have cattle that are red with dark to almost black faces, such as with the Red Angus breed.

Not all cows are mostly white. Most of the cattle in the USA are black, not white. Holsteins used for dairy farms are black AND white. Plus you can find other cows that are other colours like yellow, red, orange, brown, etc.

Genetics, and of course visible colour spectrum. Yellow cattle come about if a certain breed, like Simmental, has a diluter gene in it which make offspring be born either a yellow (also called dun or buckskin) colour, or orange. Simmentals with no diluter gene come out as brown or a deep blood-red. Crossbred cattle can also come in yellow, depending on the breeds that are being crossed. For example, a black-baldy cow bred to a Charolais bull will may give birth to a yellow-baldy calf. A red-baldy cow bred to a Charolais bull also has the potential to give birth to a yellow-baldy calf.

Other breeds that can come in a yellow or dun colour are:

  • Modern Herefords (with continental influence)
  • Gelbvieh
  • Blonde d'Aquitaine
  • Ayrshire
  • Guernsey
  • Jersey
  • Simmental-Fleckvieh
  • Scottish Highland
  • Dexter

According to the Indian Dairy Industry website, buffalo milk is whiter due to conversion of greater levels of calcium and phosphorus into the colloidal form. See Related Links.

Well you think brown cows do give chocolate milk cuz there ain't no other cow but then again you think not because there is powder that is chocolate that does change the taste so you i need a answer?

All cows give white milk, although the color may vary slightly depending on breed and diet. Chocolate milk is made by adding cocoa powder to cow milk. However, it is amusing for farmers and others who are familiar with cattle to claim that black and white cows give white milk, brown cows give chocolate milk and red and white cows (red Holsteins, usually) give strawberry milk. It's a relatively easy way to figure out who actually knows cattle and who is not familar with the dairy industry (usually characterized as "city folk"). I would suppose that yellow-colored milk (usually a banana or vanilla flavored milk) could be claimed to come from tan-colored Jersey cows. In reality, all milk from cows is essentially the same and the different colors and flavors are added to the white milk.

Did chocolate milk come from brown cows?

No. Chocolate milk is made when cocoa beans, grounded up and mixed with plenty of sugar and other additives, is mixed with normal whole white cow's milk. Brown cows give the same kind of milk as your average black-and-white Holsteins. All cows of most any colour give the same kind and colour of milk. The only differences may be quality and quantity depending on the breeds that are being milked.
