A popular choice for breeding with Angus cows is a Charolais bull. Charolais bulls are known for producing calves with good growth rates and carcass quality, which complements the Angus breed well. Other suitable breeds for crossbreeding with Angus cows include Hereford and Simmental.
No. Black Angus cows are all black. You can only get black cows with white faces if they have a sire as a Hereford or traditional Simmental. These cows are called "black baldies" and should never considered as purebred Angus because they are not purebred at all: they are crossbreds.
There are many cow herds with Angus cows that are excellent mothers, some too good that the producer can't get near the calf without having momma blowing snot down his back pockets. Some Angus herds, though, may have cows with not so good mothering ability. It all depends on the individual herd and what producers have selected into or out of their Angus cow herds.
Yes. In addition with having great convertability on grass, they also have good mothering ability not to mention an ability to raise some good calves.
