Best Answer

It depends on the breed. There are a lot of breeds that have no spots on their bodies. Other breeds like Holstein (black and red), Texas Longhorn, Shorthorn, etc. can have either black, dun, red or brown spots or speckles on their bodies. Holsteins have black patches over their bodies, and Red Holsteins have red patches.

Why do some cows have black blotches?

AnswerIt is entirely based on the cow's genetics and breed. They have spots because their parents had spots or maybe the cow's parents were different breeds and the resulting mixture was spotted colouration. The breed you are thinking of that has spotted cows would most likely be Holstein. Other breeds include Milking Shorthorn, Shorthorn, Texas Longhorn, English Longhorn, Normande, Florida Cracker, Speckle Park, Beefmaster, Simmental-Fleckvieh, Ayrshire, Guernsey, and many more.If you are talking about a different type of spot like warts or ringworm or mange then your cow is in need of a veterinarian.
