Who do you like for Black angus embryo donors, who are they bred to?

Do they produce nice calves?

You can find frozen embryos all over the country. They're shipped just like semen, so the location shouldn't be a problem. Call around to the vets in your area or your state Ag college and ask who does embryo transfer.

Dont take my word for it, go out and look for yourself. Tour herds, almost anyone would be more than willing to let you look at their cows, especially if you are serious about this. Most importantly find a cow YOU like, not the one that seems to be the most popular at the time. Think about the "convience" traits first (udders,feet, legs, disposition) before worrying about how she scanned etc. There are a lot of good cows out their dont flush one because of the name on the registration papers, flush one because of what she produces.
