Are cows born with horns

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No. Only bulls.

Actually neither response above is true. Not all cows have horns, and neither do all bulls have horns. There are many cows and bulls that are polled (are born without horns), and many that are horned.

Answer 3

Female bulls do not exist. Bulls are intact male bovines (NEVER female) and cows are mature female bovines that have had a calf. And yes, both cows and bulls can and do have horns, depending on the breed.

Answer 4

There are a number of different species that enable females to have horns (or antlers). These include but are not limited to:

• Domestic cattle of most breeds that are naturally horned
• African Cape Buffalo
• Asian Water Buffalo
• Rhinoceros
• Caribou (all species and subspecies)
• Reindeer
• Gaur
• Yak
• Banteng
• Domestic sheep
• Bighorn sheep
• Dallas sheep
• Mountain goats
• Domestic goats
• Ibex
• Muskox
• Wildebeest
• Giraffe

There are plenty others, of course.

Answer 5

Yes, the ability to have horns and scurs is not related to gender at all.

Answer 6

No, actually the only animal actually born with horns is the giraffe.
