Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.
the average beef cow is 1,333lbs
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.
It depends on how much this "average" cow weighs and whether you're referring to the amount of ready-to-eat meat on a cow or the hot-carcass weight of that "average" cow. It also depends on whether you're referring to a "cow" or a cow, its type and breed.
The weight of the average cow hide is around 55 pounds. The weight of the average bull hide is around 72 pounds.

I assume you are referring to the Shorthorn breed. A red Shorthorn bull bred to a white Shorthorn cow will produce a roan calf. The chance of this happening is 100% in this breed.
Shorthorns are dual purposed animals, they can be used for both diary and beef production. The Milking Shorthorn is the dairy producer.

The Droughtmaster is a sub-tropical breed of beef cattle developed in Australia from crossing Zebu-type and British-type cattle (mainly Shorthorn, Hereford and Shorthorn-Devon crosses) cattle during the early 1900s. The lifespan of this breed has not been determined.
