That cross does NOT produce a blue calf. This cross will give a GREY or smokey-grey calf, never blue. The resulting cross would simply be called a Char-Angus cross or Angus-Char or Angus-Charolais cross.

Why is a cow black and white and not blue and pink?

Not all cows are black, but I believe you are referring to the Angus breed, which are comprised of 100% black cattle, as well as other breeds that have chased the black fad such as Gelbvieh, Limousin, Simmental, Charolais (yes Charolais have black cattle), Salers, and Brangus, as well as smaller cattle such as Galloway, Dexters, Welsh Blacks, Canadiens, and Kerrys. Now as to why cows are black, it's mostly to do with genetics, though the origins to me are a bit complicated, too complicated to discuss on here. Black hair is a dominant gene, which, if a black cow was bred with a red bull, the calf would be black, showing that the black gene overrides the red gene. However, if a black cow is mated to a white bull (Charolais or Shorthorn), the resulting calf is diluted, or greyish or silver in colour because of the codominance gene in the white bull. But, really, cows are black because they have been selected to be black in past generations when the Aberdeen Angus breed and Kerry breed (foundation of the Irish Dexters) were created and thus founded as a breed. Sounds complicated, I know but that's the best answer I could come up with.

Are cows blue or yellow?

You will never find a cow that is truely blue in colouration (like that of the sky or of the control panel to the left on this page), but you will find blue-roans who often have a smoky-blue colouration due to the black and white hairs mixed together. Shorthorn-Angus crosses and Belgian Blues are such cattle that often come in blue-roan colouration. Unlike blue cows, though, you will find yellow cattle. These are often called buckskin-coloured or blonde cattle than yellows. Blonde d'Aquitaine, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Guernsey, Simmental-Fleckvieh, and Charolais-Angus-Hereford cross cattle are examples of breeds and crosses, respectively, that can all come in yellow-coat colouration.

If a cattlebeast has two different hair colors because they are codominant what is the cattlebeast called?

The animal itself isn't really called anything. However the hair coat colour is called a roan if the two different hair colours come from two different colour varieties of the same breed, which, in this question, the prime example belongs to the Shorthorn. However, the animal can also be called a crossbred, particularly if the sire (or dam) is Charolais or a white Shorthorn and the dam (or sire) is Angus or Red Angus. With an AngusXCharolais cross, the resulting calf is grey to mousy in colour. With a CharolaisXRed Angus cross, the resulting calf could come not as a roan, but a yellow or red-factor calf (orangy in colour). ShorthornXRed Angus cross may result in roan colouration. AngusXShorthorn calves, however, may come out as grey calves (if a white shorty was bred to a pure black angus), or blue roan (if a roan shorty was bred to an angus).

You would get blue Andalusian offspring when you cross two blue Andalusian chickens. This is due to the dominant gene for blue feathering in the blue Andalusian breed.
