Should Black Angus bulls be different blood line from cattle to be bred?
It depends on what you mean by the overly ambiguous term "cattle." Are these cattle Black Angus cattle as well of the same blood-line as the bull you are interested in using, or not? Are these cattle of yours commercial stock of mixed breeds, or purebred Angus/Hereford/Simmental? If the cows you are using these bulls on are purebred Angus cows with known genetic history you don't need to. You can use these bulls for inbreeding to purify your cowherd. You can also use bulls of a different blood-line to improve your herd. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't--that's your decision--I'm saying that you can or can't.
Why do you need cows?
