Charolais what does it look like?

Charolais generally have a larger frame size, they are cream or white. However, there are breeders that have developed red and even black Charolais cattle.

If a hornless bull mates with a horned cow what are the two genotypes of the two parents?

Hornless = polled. Polled cows and bulls can be either homozygous polled or heterozygous polled. So, since we have no idea of what kind of calf they produce, the genotypical cross will look like this: (H = polled and h= horned) H_ x hh "H_" symbolizes the unknown allele that the polled bull has. Is he hetero polled or homozygous polled? The "hh" of the cow symbolizes she is homozygous horned, since the horned trait in cattle is a recessive trait: polled gene is dominant.

Will a longhorn bull put horns on an angus?

No. Horns are recessive-dominant, thus only appear if both parents are heterozygous polled (appear polled but have the horn gene), one is horned and the other hetero polled, or both are horned. Angus are homozygous polled, which means the first generation of offspring from a cross such as this will give you calves that are polled. They will, however, have the horn gene which means that if they are bred to a horned bull or cow, there's a much greater chance that their offspring will be horned.
