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.

Why is a bull black?
Genetics. Only specific breeds have bulls that are black, or particular cross breedings have resulted in producing bulls that are black. The most common breed that gives black bulls are Angus (also known as Black Angus), Galloway, Dexter, Kerry, and Brangus. Mixing Angus with another breed to produce black cattle is quite common in North America, and black colouration is easily passed on since black is the most dominant allele of all colours (except white, which is where the white gene dilutes black to a greyish colour) in coat-colour genetics of cattle. For example, if you bred an Angus bull to a Limousin cow, you will get calves that are black. If you bred an Angus bull to a solid-coloured Longhorn cow, you will get calves that will be black.
