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.

They should, especially if you don't cut them all the way to the base of the skull. In most cases, though, you shouldn't cut the horns off a ram, since they're good handles to use to control a ram, and I believe they also help dissipate heat. Only cut the horns of a ram if it's cutting into the skull or hurting the ram in any way, and only then should you cut that portion off, not the entire horn.

No. There is also no point in doing it, as they make nifty handles. They also aid in removing heat from a goat's body, and therefore are benificial.

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.

Why dehorn cows why not shave the point down?

It's a safety measure that cows are dehorned. Sure the horns look good, but they don't feel as good as when they are goring into your body when that cow is suddenly angry with you for no apparent reason. They will also harm other cows, goring into them or causing a lot of unnecessary bruising to the meat which will cut quality. Cattle with horns are more dangerous than cattle with no horns. Shaving the points down may reduce the danger factor a little, but horns should still be respected and regarded as dangerous regardless if they're "shaved down" or tipped.
