Is there any particular reason?

O.K. First not all cows are spotted. It depends on their breed. Some are spoted, black & white, red & white, brown & white, others are solid colors, black, brown, tan, red, white, and even others look like an oreo cookie, black w/ a white stripe around the stomach.
There just like cat, dogs, horses and any other breed of animal.
Spots do not determine how much milk they give.
I line on a dairy farm with Jerseys, they're solid brown cows and they give plenty of milk.

Without spots they couldn't make any milk.
Global warming is predicted to make their spots disappear within the next 5-10 years and then we will have to find another source of milk, or be destined to live a pathetic existence of putting water on our cereal.

Coat color is probably due to incomplete dominance in the genes coding for that color. Also could be a mosaic expression of genes, but I do not know cows that well.

Because Jacob peeled strips of bark off some sticks and set them up in front of --- oops, that was sheep, not cattle....
Not really; they are domestic animals and don't require camouflage, so their coloring is relatively unimportant.
