Angus, Red Angus, Red Poll, Galloway are a few breeds that are genetically hornless. Most other breeds, except Highlanders, Texas Longhorns, Florida Crackers/Pineywoods and other horned cattle, have been genetically modified to have both horned and polled cattle within the same breed.

That all depends on what breed they are. But usually they are called horned cattle, as opposed to polled cattle which have no horns.

How is Hornless cattle a harmful trait?

The Polled (Hornless) trait is caused by a dominant allele in domestic cattle. From the standpoint of many breeders the trait is a very favorable one, eliminating the need for dehorning andresulting in fewer injuries when new cattle are mixed into a herd. In cattle (even domestic varieties) that have to fend for themselves on the open range/in the wild, hornless cattle could be at a distinct disadvantage if they need to defend themselves from predators. A hornless bull, in the wild would be at a distinct disadvantage in a fight for dominance and the right to breed if the other male has horns.
