How much should a three month old calf weigh?
This all depends on the breed. Three-month-old calves of different breeding will weigh more or less than the other. For instance, a Charolais calf will weigh more than a Jersey calf, or a miniature Angus calf will weigh less than an Angus calf (one that is normal in size and proportion).

Can a Black Angus calf be bottlefed?

What do you call a cross breed of a charolais cow and an angus bull that is blue?
That cross does NOT produce a blue calf. This cross will give a GREY or smokey-grey calf, never blue. The resulting cross would simply be called a Char-Angus cross or Angus-Char or Angus-Charolais cross.

Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.

How do you get a black calf with a white face?
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.

LOL, this is one of those jokes that many cattlemen like to toss around when they see an Angus cow acting as serogate mother to a Charolais calf. But in all seriousness, no, there is no such thing as a White Angus.
