The cross's name would be considered an F1 Brangus-Hereford cross. The colour would be black with a white face.
You can use a Simmental (white-faced one) or a Hereford. Hereford over Brangus would probably give you the best in terms of heterosis.
A Brangus bull typically weighs around 2400 lbs, on average.
Striped is a more looser term for the proper term being "brindle," which is also called tiger-striped. Brindle colour patterns are obtained by breeding a wild-type bull or cow with a cow or bull that has an allele for black pigment in the hair. As such, crossing a Hereford-Red Angus cow with a White/grey Brahman bull, or a Braford cow with an Angus bull or a Brangus cow with Hereford bull will produce a calf with this brindle phenotype. Crossing Hereford with Jersey will almost always result in a brindle calf as well. Please see the related link on coat color genetics below. Refer to page 6 of 22 for information on how the Brindle pattern is obtained in the pdf link below.
Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.
No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
The price of a brangus bull depends on conformation, whether he's a proven sire or not, and his EPD values. Prices may range from $3000 to $5000 for a mature proven bull. Prices will be lower for yearling bulls.
Around 2000 lbs or more.
Most Hereford bulls weigh around 2600 lb.
Nothing, it is impossible to breed two bulls together. However, when either of these is a female the offspring would just be called a cross bred animal. A similar circumstance is when you cross a Hereford with a Charolais.
Hereford is a pure breed, and the origin of the colour pattern of the Hereford breed is pretty much unknown. So you can't find two breeds to cross to find Hereford, unless you can find a Hereford cow and a Hereford bull and "find" a Hereford calf!
"The Rare Breed" (1966). The Hereford bull was named Vindicator.
it is highly highly unlikely but as soon as they can be separated i would separate them. just to be sure.
