What would be a good cross with a beefmaster red angus cow?

Are you referring to a Beefmaster-Red Angus cross cow or either Beefmaster or Red Angus? If the former, a continental breed such as Limousin, Maine Anjou, Simmental or Charolais would be a good breed to put on this cross. If the latter, a good bull to put on a Beefmaster would likely be, once again, a Continental breed, or a distant British breed like Hereford. For Red Angus, you can't beat a Hereford over an RA to get a red-baldy.

How do you identify a male huffer in angus cow?

There is no such thing as a "male huffer", not even in an Angus cow or anywhere else. Unless you were trying to spell out "heifer", the question has no merit thus cannot be answered.

However, even if you were asking how to identify a "male heifer" in angus cattle (which I assume you were more likely trying to ask), there still is no such thing as a male heifer. A heifer is only female, never either male or female. Heifers are immature female bovines, or female bovines that have never given birth to a calf. Heifers are often smaller and much younger-looking than an adult Angus cow. They do not have an udder like a cow does.

What is the average hanging weight of a 20 month old Hereford Angus steer?

Generally, beef cattle at this age are well-developed, contributing to a substantial hanging weight when processed.

What angus bull should you buy to increase your weaning weights?

You should really purchase a bull based on not just on a one-trait selection. You should select a bull based on a bunch of traits that you need to improve on in your cowherd. Higher weaning weights correlate to less calving ease and higher birth weights, so if you have cows that are not suited to give birth to higher BW (birth weight) calves, you're in for a nasty train-wreck. You should try to find a bull that has a lot of growth but is also easy calving and have lower BW numbers in order to achieve higher WW. Don't go to extremes because you could also cause calving issues in your herd, and don't purchase a bull based on just his EPDs alone. EPDs are a tool, but they can be an almighty poor one, especially since they can blind you with their greatness and cause you to not take a second look at the crappy bull with such numbers that should've been a steer in the first place! So really look at the bull's physical characteristics, his dam and sire's numbers and conformation, and base your decisions from there.

I've no idea what kind of cows you have, what they look like or what the average BW and WW that you've had with your cow herd so there's no way that I can ever give you any suggestions on what Angus bull is best for you. That's for you to decide, and for you to do your own homework on.
