Does a cow have to be fully black to be an Angus cow?
No. Angus is merely a breed, not a "primary" representation of black colouration. Here's a list of other breeds that come in black: - Kerry - Dexter - Charolais (yes, surprise surprise!) - Gelbvieh - Limousin - Chiangus - Maine Anjou - Salers - Simmental - Canadienne - Holstein - Corriente - Galloway - Irish Black - Welsh Black - Brangus - American - Ranger - Beefalo - Beefmaster and any others I couldn't think of off-hand. However, if you are referring to the breed standards of qualifying as an Angus cow, yes. Angus cattle have to be all black in order to be qualified as Angus. However since there are many breeds that come in black (among those, breeds that have been bred-up to fullbloods with the influence of Angus genes), a DNA test must be done on those Angus cattle to truly determine whether they are of pure Angus blood and not of a composite breed.

How did the Black Angus become a breed?
From the An Sci OkState University Breeds of Livestock site on Angus cattle:Origin"There are three distinct and well-defined breeds of polled cattle in the United Kingdom. These breeds are the Aberdeen-Angus, the Galloway, and the red polled Norfolk and Suffolk breed that is found in England. Polled cattle apparently existed in Scotland before recorded history because the likeness of such cattle is found in prehistoric carvings of Aberdeen and Angus. Historians state that there were hornless cattle in Siberia centuries earlier. A hornless race of cattle was depicted in Egypt by sculptors and painters of that ancient civilization. Some historians feel that the Aberdeen-Angus breed and the other Scottish breeds sprang from the aboriginal cattle of the country and that the breeds as we find them today are indigenous to the districts in which they are still found."Early Scottish Cattle. Although little is known about the early origin of the cattle that later became known as the Aberdeen-Angus breed, it is thought that the improvement of the original stock found in the area began in the last half of the 18th century. The cattle found in northern Scotland were not of uniform color, and many of the cattle of the early days had varied color markings or broken color patterns. Many of the cattle were polled, but some few had horns. The characteristics we commonly call polled was often referred to in the old Scottish writings by the terms of 'humble,' 'doddies,' 'humlies,' or 'homyl.'"In the link below, is a more in-depth look at the history of how the Angus cattle became a breed.
Where were the breed of cattle angus founded?
Most of the research for creating the Brangus breed was done by the USDA at the USDA Experimental Station in Jeanerette, Louisiana, USA, starting around the early 1930's. During the same period, Clear Creek Ranch of Welch, Oklahoma and Grenada, Mississippi, Raymond Pope of Vinita, Oklahoma, the Essar Ranch of San Antonio, Texas, and a few individual breeders in other parts of the United States and Canada were also carrying on private experimental breeding programs. All the producers and the USDA was working to find a desirable beef-type animal that both had the Brahman's natural ability to thrive in adverse conditions and retain the qualities which the Angus breed was known for. In Vinita, Oklahoma, breeders from 16 states and Canada came together to form the American Brangus Association in July 2, 1949, later named the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA).

Most do not. There are many breeds of cattle that do not nor cannot resist the heat of the sun without succumbing to it.
