Can a black angus be a purebred with a white face?
NO! Black Angus can ONLY be ALL black in order to be deemed purebred. Also, an animal that is deemed to be Black Angus MUST have DNA tests done on the animal, the sire and the dam to prove that it is indeed purebred and not a composite. The animal you are talking about is a composite breed, which is a result from crossing Hereford with Angus, or even crossing Angus with a Hereford-Angus F1 cross.
What part of the cow does angus come from?
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.

Are an Angus bull's horns hollow?
Angus bulls don't have horns. The Angus breed itself is naturally polled. A bull that is born from a registered Angus cow and registered Angus bull and comes up horned or scurred is not qualified to be a registered purebred animal, no matter what Angus association it is. And no bovine's horns are hollow. You can see that from the horns that are tipped on rodeo bulls or some range cows.

How do you register black angus cattle?
To register Black Angus cattle, you have to get a membership with your country's Angus Association. In some parts of the USA, there are state Angus associations you can sign up at (Texas, Iowa, Miama Valley and A.L.O.T [Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas] are those states that have their own Angus Associations), but for most states that do not have their own state Angus association, you have to sign up through the American Angus Association. If you live in Canada, you can sign up via the Canadian Angus Association, or through the different provinces' associations (B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and P.E.I have their own Angus associations). Other countries that have their own associations (if you live there) are New Zealand, the U.K., Portugal, Denmark and Australia. Depending on where you live, you first have to pay the joining fee (it's $80 to join the American Angus Assoc.), then pay a fee per calf, cow or bull you have to register. You also have to remember that for all Angus Associations, both parents of the calf must be purebred stock and must be proven as purebred Angus cattle. DNA tests are done primarily on the bulls, and this is to prove they are purebred Angus. Both the dam and sire MUST have records that link them to other purebred Angus stock, otherwise you cannot register your calf.
