What is the difference between a goat and sheep?
The main difference is that goats do not grow wool and do not need to be shorn annually as sheep do (except for Angora goats which are shorn twice a year). They are in different genus and cannot breed, they have a different number of chromosomes sheep have 54 while goats have 60 chromosomal pairs. Most goats have horns while sheep do not. Another difference is the tail posture, goat's tails while stand straight up (unless they are sick or frightened), while the sheep's tail will hang down and is often docked. Goats are browers that like to eat the top of plants or bushes rather than the bottoms like the sheep whom are grazers.

Why do you cut female goats horns?
You can disbud goats with a disbudding iron when they are little kids but when they are adults you should only cut the tip off the horn so they aren't sharp as when the horns grow there are blood vessels that grow with them.
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.
How do you dehorn sheep?
It's highly recommended to use local anaesthetic first before you start, then you will need to use a hack-saw to saw those horns off. Use of a paste to stop bleeding immediately is also highly recommended. During this whole process, that cow needs to be restrained in a squeeze chute or crush with a head-catch and its head restrained so the animal doesn't move. If you're not sure what to do, though, get a vet out to help you with this.
What breed of female cattle have horns?
Almost all breeds of cattle are born with buds, the ability to grow horns. The horns are almost always removed at a young age. Sometimes farmers allow the cattle to grow horns, depending on what breed they're raising. A few breeds have been developed in which the offspring are polled, that is, do not have the ability to grow horns. 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. 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. The naturally polled breeds of cattle include Angus, Red Angus, Brangus, Red Brangus and Galloway.

Why does the traditional viking helmet have horns?
It didn't. Horns make a helmet, particularly a fighting helmet, immensely impractical. A strike would get caught on the horn instead of sliding off. Maybe cut through the helmet, or break the neck instantly. The idea of horned helmets stems from horned figures in rock carvings, and have never been supported by any archeology. The rock carvings may well be of some religious nature, and not an actual picture of something that was real. Answer The reason why some traditional viking helmet have horns is a few depictions which is actually mounted with animal horns or some replicas. This may also due to their religious beliefs.
