That all depends on what breed they are and where you are located, as well as what kind of calves your local markets are demanding. If they are Angus cows they can be cross bred to a Brahman, Hereford or Shorthorn bull. If they are Charolais cows, they can be bred to a Red Angus, Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Shorthorn, Limousin, Brahman or Santa Gertrudis bull.
Just like a black angus, only red.
Well this is a very ambiguous question. An Angus bull can be any age, from 0 at birth to 15 years old or older.
The Angus bull is part of the Angus breed, which originated in Aberdeen, Scotland.
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.
They don't. That has never happened before, and likely never will. When you cross a White Shorthorn cow with a Black Angus bull you will get a grey calf (this is how the Murray Grey breed came about, by the way). The same thing occurs if you put a Black Angus bull on a Charolais cow.
Yes, just like in the United States. Angus Sourced calves (those calves that have been sired by an Angus bull and are from an Angus Dam or Angus Hereford (Black Baldy Dam) are used in CAAB. There is only one Certified Australian Angus Beef Brand.
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.
