What is the nastiest breed of cattle?
This all depends on who you're asking this to. Some will say that Herefords can be the most calmest breed but have some of the most nastiest cattle out there. I hear more complaints about bad temperament in Chianina, Limousin, Charolais, and Brahman cattle. Angus and Red Angus cattle can have some wicked cattle too. The nasties depend on environment, how they were raised, and genetics.
Do some angus cattle have horns?
It's possible, however all registeterd Angus cattle are polled. A few animals may be scurred, but that's not that common. Any black cattle that are horned are not fullblood or purebred Angus. The various Angus Associations around the world will not recognize horned black cattle as Angus cattle when a producer tries to register such animals. The scurs or horns (if they do present themselves) come from the influence and breeding-up done by producers when they have introduced Jersey and Shorthorn (earlier in the breed's history) into the Angus bloodline to deter from too much inbreeding. Both of these breeds are horned, Jersey moreso today than Shorthorn, and it should be no surprise that horns or scurs may come up in some fullblood or "purebred" Angus cattle. But as mentioned above, if such animals come about, they do not qualify to be registered and are only recognized as commercial Angus cattle.
What is the pedigree of the beef Angus?

What is the scientific name for black Angus?
They're cattle, so Bos taurus. (Some kinds of "cattle" are actually zebu, Bos indicus, or taurus/indicus hybrids, but Angus are pure taurus.)Also, since you specifically mentioned "black" Angus: the only real difference between black and red Angus cattle is one gene for color. Black Angus have been specifically bred to eliminate the recessive gene that causes redness, and red Angus have been bred specifically FOR that gene. The original Angus breed from Scotland could be either black or red.
When was the Certified Angus Beef program formed?
The Certified Angus Beef (CAB) program is where cattle producers can get a premium for raising and selling Angus cattle, or cattle that are black with some Angus breeding in them, for beef. It's also a marketing initiative to get more consumers to buy more beef that is labelled as "certified Angus" due to the implied higher quality and consistency this type of beef would have over non-CAB-labelled beef. Unfortunately, it's all marketing, and not all beef that gets this label is from purebred Angus cattle.
How did the Black Angus become a breed?
From the An Sci OkState University Breeds of Livestock site on Angus cattle:Origin"There are three distinct and well-defined breeds of polled cattle in the United Kingdom. These breeds are the Aberdeen-Angus, the Galloway, and the red polled Norfolk and Suffolk breed that is found in England. Polled cattle apparently existed in Scotland before recorded history because the likeness of such cattle is found in prehistoric carvings of Aberdeen and Angus. Historians state that there were hornless cattle in Siberia centuries earlier. A hornless race of cattle was depicted in Egypt by sculptors and painters of that ancient civilization. Some historians feel that the Aberdeen-Angus breed and the other Scottish breeds sprang from the aboriginal cattle of the country and that the breeds as we find them today are indigenous to the districts in which they are still found."Early Scottish Cattle. Although little is known about the early origin of the cattle that later became known as the Aberdeen-Angus breed, it is thought that the improvement of the original stock found in the area began in the last half of the 18th century. The cattle found in northern Scotland were not of uniform color, and many of the cattle of the early days had varied color markings or broken color patterns. Many of the cattle were polled, but some few had horns. The characteristics we commonly call polled was often referred to in the old Scottish writings by the terms of 'humble,' 'doddies,' 'humlies,' or 'homyl.'"In the link below, is a more in-depth look at the history of how the Angus cattle became a breed.

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.
