A polled bull (or cow) is an animal that was bred to not develop horns. However, a bull that developed horns but then had them cut off (called dehorning) may also be mistakenly referred to as a polled bull.

Do cows grow back horns after its cut?
Not if the dehorning process was properly done! Horns must be cut right to the base of the skull, not an inch or a sixteenth of an inch to spare, in order for them to not grow back. If a little bit of horn is left (even a tiny little bit), it will grow back, for sure. But, the horn will not grow back as normally as it would if it were not cut off in the first place.

When do cows get their horns?
"during the spring they grow they're horns. in the summer they have a leathery material called velvet. in the fall they fight for the mate. in the winter their horns fall off. SWEET! and then u can go and collect the deer antlers.! WHAT A SWEET TREAT!" -ORIGINAL ANSWER TRUE ANSWER: Deer antlers and bovid horns (cows are bovids) are produced in very different ways. Unlike antlers, horns are never branched, but they do vary from species to species in shape and size. Horns are composed of a bony core covered with a sheath of keratin. Neither the sheath nor the core are ever shed, and in many species, the horns never stop growing. Horn cores begin as small bony growths under the skin, over the skull, in the subcutaneous connective tissue. They are not attached to the skull and are known as ossicones. They possess their own centers of ossification and fuse secondarily to the skull bones. In members of the family Bovidae (which cows belong to), horns develop from or over the frontals.
Does a sheep have horns?
Not all cows do, but they are certainly more than capable of having them. Horns in cattle is not just a male characteristic, but found in both male and female. Horns are often larger in males than females. Many of these horned cows have had their horns removed (called "dehorning") when they were calves in order to minimize injury to other cattle, the handler, and damaging equipment. This is especially true for dairy cows, not so much with beef cows. Horns are removed by caustic paste, hot-iron or horn-clippers. Not all producers (or "farmers") dehorn all their cows, though. However, dehorning can be done genetically, as many of the horned breeds have cattle that also come naturally hornless or polled. Breeding a horned cow or bull to a polled bull or cow, respectively, will often "take the horns off" the calves. Other cows from heritage or "older" breeds are naturally born with horns, and don't come in the polled variety like the other improved and modern-type breeds that were historically primarily polled. The horns from these breeds may curve up, down or grow sideways, and come in various lengths, depending on the breed. Cows can also be found to be horned (not dehorned at all) if they come from ranches that prefer to keep the horns on their cows, especially since they provide some form of defense against predators that may threaten their calves. Some producers, however, may have their cows' horns tipped if the producer is really concerned about damage to equipment or other cattle. Bulls are more likely to get their horns tipped than cows. Then there are those breeds that are naturally polled and never have cattle (cows, bulls, steers, and heifers) that are horned. Such breeds include Angus, Red Poll, Red Angus, Speckle Park, British White and American White Park.

Will the hard cell of a cow horn grow back?
Not sure what you mean here, but when a bovine is dehorned, the horns don't grow back, especially if they were cut at the root and not an inch away from the skull. If the horns were cut only an inch away from the skull, they still will grow, but not normally like they would if they were not cut off.
