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.
No. Black is a dominant colour, no matter what colour the bull is. If the bull is white, the calf will be grey. If a bull is black, the calf will be black; if a bull is a blue roan, the calf will be most likely a darker roan or even black; if a bull is red or brown, the calf will be black; if a bull is yellow or orange the calf will be either grey or black.
They don't. It's simply not possible. The only way a black cow can "have" a white calf is if the white calf has been adopted by that cow because her calf had died at birth and the white calf had no mother because it's mother either rejected it or died giving birth to it. It's new surrogate mother then happened to be a black cow.
Yes, it is possible for a black cow and a black bull to have a white calf if both parents carry a recessive gene for white coloration. This would allow for the expression of the white color in their offspring.
That all depends on the breed[s] of either the sire and the dam.Basically, though, if the black bull is Angus, and the white cow is Charolais, then the calf that results will come out grey.
That's kind of a "wait-and-see" sort of thing. You may get a calf that resembles a cross between a Speckle Park and a Hereford, something akin to a calf having a white face with a pink nose (or possibly black), dark color inside the ears and dark patches on either side of the body. There may be a dorsal stripe down the back from the nose to the tail and white under the body. The calf may also have black spots or patches on the feet and legs. But this is not certain, because genes have a way of making us make more of a guess than an assumption: it can be a guessing game when crossing one very differently-colored breed with another!! For a picture of something similar (though the calf is from a British White cow, not White pointed Galloway) please see the related link below.
No. A Hereford already has a white face, so no use calling Herefords "baldy herefords." The genes for a white face is dominant to that of a coloured face like black, red, tan, etc. So, if you bred an Angus bull with a Hereford cow you will ultimately and always get a calf that is black with a white face. The only time you will get a small (16%) chance of getting a purely black calf is if you breed an F1 black baldy cow with an F1 black baldy bull. Another 16% will give you an all black calf that is horned (from the genes of the calf's grandsire or granddam, which ever was a Hereford (non-polled)). However, if you breed an Angus bull to an F1 black baldy cow, you will have a 50% chance of getting a pure-black calf.

As it grows, the coloration of the calf's face (and even the rest of the body) will change. This is a common thing in foals and young horses.

The cross's name would be considered an F1 Brangus-Hereford cross. The colour would be black with a white face.

He is a black and white cat, mostly black- white face. No paws, four fingers.
