Cows don't have horns. Bulls, or "male cows" do.
Answer 2:The first answer above is NOT TRUE!! Firstly, 'cows' may colloquially refer to domesticated bovine in a gender-neutral manner, as it appears to in the structure of this question. Secondly, cows (as in female mature bovines) can have horns, though they are generally smaller than bulls of the same breed. Most of the modern breeds have been selected for not having horns, while those that do often have their horn buds removes as calves. Answer 3:Cows of those breeds that are known to be horned, which is pretty much every breed except the following:Angus/Red Angus
Galloway
Belted Galloway
Red Poll
Red Brangus
Brangus
British White
Speckle Park
Pretty much all other breeds have cows AND bulls that have horns. Within those breeds that are historically known to have horns, there are also polled animals. But those polled animals you see of a particular breed like Gelbvieh, Charolais, Simmental, Hereford, Shorthorn, etc., does not mean that ALL of the animals of that breed are polled: bulls and cows can be polled, and bulls and cows can be horned. In the entire world, horned breeds outnumber polled breeds by 1:100, approximately.

∙ 11y agoMany breeds of cattle do have horned cows as well as bulls, though the horns of cows are usually smaller than those of bulls. There are also breeds that are 'polled', that is, do not have horns at all. many breeds that do have horns have them removed as calves to reduce injury to other livestock, farming equipment or the farmers themselves.

∙ 13y agoYes. Both cows and bulls can have horns, and both cows and bulls can be polled. Horns are NOT a way to differentiate between male and female; this is only apparent in moose, deer and elk, NOT cattle. Bison and buffalo have females and males that are horned, so the same thing reflects in the domestic bovine.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThere are two species of domestic cattle, Bos taurus and Bos indicus. Both species may have horns, although there are breeds (subspecies) within each that have been selectively bred to not have horns.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, especially during the spring time when they have to get rid of that excess winter hair.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, in order for a goats horns to be removed the animal must be dehorned.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo. Only deer and members of the deer family, like elk, moose and caribou, do. Cows are not a part of the deer family.

What kind of female cows have horns?
This is an ambiguous question because there are over 900 breeds of cattle in the world, and there are a few breeds where all cows (AND bulls) are horned, but all others have cows that are horned. There really is no "kind" or "type" of cow that has horns.
Do brown Swiss cows have horns?
There are black and white cows that have horns. The most commonly known dairy cattle that is black and white is the Holstein breed. All Holsteins are born with the genetics to grow horns. However, majority of cows, as calves, are dehorned days after birth.

Horses, cows, and bulls like to live in corral's in ranches or pet farms.
Do all bulls have horns?
No. There are many breeds that have cattle (including bulls) that are naturally polled. These include Red Poll (as mentioned below), Angus, Red Angus, Galloway and British White. Many bulls in the historically horned breeds have also been bred to be polled, or have had their horns removed when they were calves. Not all bulls have horns. There are some varieties of cattle that have been bred so as to not have horns. These are referred to as Polled varieties, such as the Red Poll. Of course cows also have horns unless they have had their horns removed or are polled varieties. Many farmers prefer cattle without horns because they transport easier and are less likely to harm each other when fighting or in closed environments.

Are cows born with horns?
Not all cows do. Holsteins are naturally horned, so their horns need to be trimmed or cut before their horns get too big, which is when they are a few months old if horn buds can be seen or felt. However, other cows can be born polled or hornless and do not need to have their horns trimmed. The naturally polled breeds of cattle include Angus, Red Angus, Brangus, Red Brangus and Galloway. Horns is a recessive gene in cattle, so if a horned cow mates with a polled bull, the offspring will be polled. But mating horned with horned produces horned offspring, or hetero polled with hetero polled have a 25% chance of producing horned offspring.
