A horned cow. That's it: End of Story.

A "cow" or cow with horns is NEVER nor should EVER be called a bull. Bulls are just as capable of having nor horns as cows are capable of having horns. To say that a bovine has horns makes it a bull is indicative of a person very misinformed and ignorant of bovine genetics and physiology.

Most breeds have been selected nowadays to have bulls that are born polled as well as horned. However the naturally polled breeds include Angus, Red Angus, Red Poll, Brangus and Red Brangus. All other breeds can come with bulls being horned or not, since safety is increased if a bull does not have horns.

A bull. If you're trying to describe the differences between a bull with or without horns, you use the verbs "horned" or "polled" to refer to a bull (or cow, steer or heifer) with or without horns, respectively.

Pigs do not have horns. Some varieties have tusks ( long teeth) which serve some of the purposes of horns- ie are useful for defense .They are also useful in grubbing for food.

Do all bulls have horns?

No. There are many breeds that have cattle (including bulls) that are naturally polled. These include Red Poll (as mentioned below), Angus, Red Angus, Galloway and British White. Many bulls in the historically horned breeds have also been bred to be polled, or have had their horns removed when they were calves. Not all bulls have horns. There are some varieties of cattle that have been bred so as to not have horns. These are referred to as Polled varieties, such as the Red Poll. Of course cows also have horns unless they have had their horns removed or are polled varieties. Many farmers prefer cattle without horns because they transport easier and are less likely to harm each other when fighting or in closed environments.


Can Cows have horns like bulls?

Cows don't have horns. Bulls, or "male cows" do.Answer 2:The first answer above is NOT TRUE!! Firstly, 'cows' may colloquially refer to domesticated bovine in a gender-neutral manner, as it appears to in the structure of this question. Secondly, cows (as in female mature bovines) can have horns, though they are generally smaller than bulls of the same breed. Most of the modern breeds have been selected for not having horns, while those that do often have their horn buds removes as calves. Answer 3:Cows of those breeds that are known to be horned, which is pretty much every breed except the following: Angus/Red AngusGallowayBelted GallowayRed PollRed BrangusBrangusBritish WhiteSpeckle ParkPretty much all other breeds have cows AND bulls that have horns. Within those breeds that are historically known to have horns, there are also polled animals. But those polled animals you see of a particular breed like Gelbvieh, Charolais, Simmental, Hereford, Shorthorn, etc., does not mean that ALL of the animals of that breed are polled: bulls and cows can be polled, and bulls and cows can be horned. In the entire world, horned breeds outnumber polled breeds by 1:100, approximately.

When does a bull break its horns?

Many bulls don't have horns because a) they were born without them, or b) they were dehorned when they were very young. But nevertheless, a bull can break his horns if he gets caught in a bale feeder or a tree branch and fights hard to get out of it. It's rare though for a bull (or cow) to break its horns because if the tough and thick layer of keratin horns are made of. You may also think that a bull has "broke" his horn when in fact he never broke it at all. Rather he would've got them tipped (tips removed with a saw or something similar) to prevent him from goring other cattle, horses or humans that need to handle him.
