Herefords are worth just as much as Angus cattle are, both in terms of value and financially.
An F1 Hereford-Angus cow should live to be at least 15 to 20 years of age, on average, if not more.
British cattle are those breeds that originated from Great Britain including England, Scotland and Ireland. The following are some of the British breeds: - Aberdeen Angus (Black and Red) - Hereford - Shorthorn - Galloway - Dexter - Kerry - Scottish Highland - Red Poll - South Devon
A baldy cow is a cross-bred cow that has a white face and a black, red or yellow body. Crosses that make Baldies baldies include the following possible crosses: Angus x Hereford --> Black Baldy * Red Angus x Hereford ---> Red Baldy or red brockle face Angus x Simmental --> "Super baldies" or Black baldy Red Angus x Simmental --> "Super baldies" or Red baldy Simmental x Hereford --> Red Baldy Simmental x Hereford x Angus --> Black baldy or Black brockle face Simmental x Hereford x Red Angus --> Red Baldy or red Brockle face Charolais x Hereford x Angus --> Yellow baldy Charolais x Hereford x Red Angus --> Yellow baldy Charolais x Hereford --> Yellow or tan baldy Limousin x Hereford --> black, red or tan baldy Limousin x Hereford x Angus --> Black baldy Limousin x Simmental --> Red baldy Charolais x Simmental --> Yellow baldy Limousin x Simmental x Angus --> Black baldy Charolais x Simmental x Angus --> Black or mousy baldy Charolais x Simmental x Red Angus --> Tan or Red baldy Limousin x Simmental x Red Angus --> Red baldy The possibilities of getting a baldy cow or calf are endless, as you can see. *However the most popular baldy is the Black Baldy, from crossing Hereford with Angus or vice versa.
Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.

NO! Black Angus can ONLY be ALL black in order to be deemed purebred. Also, an animal that is deemed to be Black Angus MUST have DNA tests done on the animal, the sire and the dam to prove that it is indeed purebred and not a composite. The animal you are talking about is a composite breed, which is a result from crossing Hereford with Angus, or even crossing Angus with a Hereford-Angus F1 cross.
They're about the same.
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.
Herefords are primarily bred for their beef. However, the Hereford breed is popular because of its flexibility to create crossbred calves that produce good if not better beef than either of the parents. The most famous cross is the Angus-Hereford cross, commonly called Black Baldies. Herefords can cross with other breeds including Gelbvieh, Simmental, Brahman, Charolais, Limousin, Red Angus, and others. Hereford bulls are primarily used on the more popular Angus breeds to get black baldies. However hereford cows are also great because of their docility and great forage convertability, making them great commercial cows on the range and pasture environment.
