No, unless the average weight of the main cowherd is 1000 lbs, which then the heifer is 60% of the average cowherd weight. But, if the average mature weight of your herd is a bit higher, then definitely not, as she is obviously too young and too light to be bred. If she's bred already, inject some Lutalyse in her NOW.

Does a cow have to be fully black to be an Angus cow?
No. Angus is merely a breed, not a "primary" representation of black colouration. Here's a list of other breeds that come in black: - Kerry - Dexter - Charolais (yes, surprise surprise!) - Gelbvieh - Limousin - Chiangus - Maine Anjou - Salers - Simmental - Canadienne - Holstein - Corriente - Galloway - Irish Black - Welsh Black - Brangus - American - Ranger - Beefalo - Beefmaster and any others I couldn't think of off-hand. However, if you are referring to the breed standards of qualifying as an Angus cow, yes. Angus cattle have to be all black in order to be qualified as Angus. However since there are many breeds that come in black (among those, breeds that have been bred-up to fullbloods with the influence of Angus genes), a DNA test must be done on those Angus cattle to truly determine whether they are of pure Angus blood and not of a composite breed.

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.
