It is not clear when Red Angus cattle where first imported to the US, but I believe they may have came around the same time the first black Angus came to America. It is recorded, though, that the first American herdbook were published in 1886 and 1888; at that time the colour of the animals was not recorded (nor considered significant), until 1917 came around when the American Angus Association decided to prohibit any red cattle from being registered into the AAA.

Is Black Angus in reference to black angus steak a registered trademark?
Not in the USA. In fact, the term "black angus" is a breed of cattle, and as such would be a descriptive term dedicated to the public domain (not proprietary) with respect to beef. However, an unusual combination with "black angus" or a suggestive or arbitrary reference could become a trademark, especially if applied outside of the red meat trades (e.g., Black Angus has been registered for whiskey, cutlery and pet food). Similarly, "Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Restaurant" has a family of brands, registered since the 1960s.
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).

Which is better beef white face hereford or black angus?
Black Angus. BUT, the question is poorly phrased, as it requests judgment without specifying the criteria to be judged. Better for what purpose? Better tasting beef? Better breed of beef cattle? Better growing? Better disposition? Since the question is really more of a popularity poll, the best answer I can give you is: Angus are number 1 in popularity, Hereford are very popular with the 2nd largest beef cattle population in the USA after angus. Registered angus out number registered herefords by more than 4 to 1.
How do you register black angus cattle?
To register Black Angus cattle, you have to get a membership with your country's Angus Association. In some parts of the USA, there are state Angus associations you can sign up at (Texas, Iowa, Miama Valley and A.L.O.T [Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas] are those states that have their own Angus Associations), but for most states that do not have their own state Angus association, you have to sign up through the American Angus Association. If you live in Canada, you can sign up via the Canadian Angus Association, or through the different provinces' associations (B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and P.E.I have their own Angus associations). Other countries that have their own associations (if you live there) are New Zealand, the U.K., Portugal, Denmark and Australia. Depending on where you live, you first have to pay the joining fee (it's $80 to join the American Angus Assoc.), then pay a fee per calf, cow or bull you have to register. You also have to remember that for all Angus Associations, both parents of the calf must be purebred stock and must be proven as purebred Angus cattle. DNA tests are done primarily on the bulls, and this is to prove they are purebred Angus. Both the dam and sire MUST have records that link them to other purebred Angus stock, otherwise you cannot register your calf.
What do Angus ranchers feed their cattle Do they add hormones?
Depends on the ranchers themselves and what market they are targeting, and what cattle they're feeding. Cattle fed on a feedlot diet (which comprises of 97% of the finisher/backgrounding herd in the USA) are not fed hormones, but are given growth hormones via implants in the ears. Heifers, on the other hand, are fed hormones to keep them from going into heat all the time. Angus cattle on such a diet are fed primarily corn-grain-silage mixture to fatten them up prior to slaughter.
