Age is not a factor. Reproductive ability, temperament, health, teeth, udder conformation, mothering ability and other factors are determinants to make a producer to consider stop breeding an Angus cow and ship her to the auction. Rarely are cows kept until they die of old age. If they were, and are no longer productive at ~20 years of age (plus or minus a few years), then they are no longer bred and allowed to live out their days in the pasture instead of being sent to slaughter. Though as mentioned this is rare, it does happen, especially if that cow is too special to a producer to want to let her go to be turned into dog food or hamburger.
There is no defined age when to stop breeding an Angus cow. The time to stop breeding her depends her level of contribution the herd and her state of health and well-being. In other words, if she can't look after her calf when she's at 5 years old or is too temperamental to be considered worthwhile to keep around, she gets culled. If she's around 15 years old and her teeth are worn down or her udder and teats are so big and baggy that her calf can't latch on, then she gets culled. But some breeders will keep a prized Angus cow until she dies of natural death once it seems like she can't (or it isn't worth) get[ting] one more calf out of her.
You can either buy one--off a local producer who sells such calves or from your local salebarn--or you can get one yourself by breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull (or a Hereford cow with an Angus bull). Even breeding a modern-type Simmental cow with an Angus bull (or vice versa) will get you a black-baldy calf.
An Angus cow is able to breed anytime she is not pregnant and in heat.
A typical Red Angus cow would have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years of age.
A fully developed Black Angus cow typically weighs between 1000-1600 pounds, depending on factors such as age, genetics, and nutrition.

The age of a cow when it will stop growing is about the age of 5 years. The baby cow will stop nursing from the mother around 14 months old but is not considered grown.
An F1 Hereford-Angus cow should live to be at least 15 to 20 years of age, on average, if not more.
Most Angus cows are already past this age--they are mature female bovines that have already had a calf and are past 2 years of age.
In America, yes.
What Angus cow? There are many different cows from different ranches, all with different reg. #'s. Please be more specific! Check out the American Angus Association website for the Angus cow you are looking for.
Your heifers weight should be 60% of the cow herd's. But, they should also be around 15 months of age, though a couple months plus or minus isn't going to hurt either.
Angus beef does not come from any part of any cow, but comes from a BREED of cattle (or cows) called Angus.
