No. Cows are not carnivorous, they are herbivorous. The only "prey" they have is grass and tree leaves.
In America, yes.
No, not every cow can be considered 100 percent Black Angus. Black Angus is a specific breed characterized by its solid black color and specific genetic traits. To be classified as purebred Black Angus, a cow must meet strict breed standards and typically come from registered Black Angus parents. Therefore, while some cows may appear black, they may not meet the genetic criteria to be considered 100 percent Black Angus.
Yes.
What Angus cow? There are many different cows from different ranches, all with different reg. #'s. Please be more specific! Check out the American Angus Association website for the Angus cow you are looking for.
Angus is not any part of a cow. Angus is a BREED of "cow" or bovine, specified by the colouration and genetics that determine whether an Angus cow is purebred or not. Angus cattle are always all black, unlike other breeds that have followed the black trend like Simmental, Gelbvieh, Maine Anjou, Charolais, Limousin and Salers who, traditionally are not black.

A cow is a cow. Milk is milk. Quantity and butterfat content will vary with each breed. Black angus is a breed. Drink Up!
A healthy, fully mature Angus cow can weigh anywhere from 1200-1600 lbs.
naturally born.
They don't. That has never happened before, and likely never will. When you cross a White Shorthorn cow with a Black Angus bull you will get a grey calf (this is how the Murray Grey breed came about, by the way). The same thing occurs if you put a Black Angus bull on a Charolais cow.
Maybe the farmer or rancher wanted to keep that particular cow along with his black ones. That does happen, you know: a large herd of commercial Black Angus cattle may include a couple Red Angus or Hereford cattle in it.
You can either buy one--off a local producer who sells such calves or from your local salebarn--or you can get one yourself by breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull (or a Hereford cow with an Angus bull). Even breeding a modern-type Simmental cow with an Angus bull (or vice versa) will get you a black-baldy calf.
From the grass, hay, grain or silage she consumes.
