What part of the cow does angus come from?

Angus is not any part of a cow. Angus is a BREED of "cow" or bovine, specified by the colouration and genetics that determine whether an Angus cow is purebred or not. Angus cattle are always all black, unlike other breeds that have followed the black trend like Simmental, Gelbvieh, Maine Anjou, Charolais, Limousin and Salers who, traditionally are not black. Please see the related links below for more info.

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.
