Hornless = polled. Polled cows and bulls can be either homozygous polled or heterozygous polled.

Is he hetero polled or homozygous polled? The "hh" of the cow symbolizes she is homozygous horned, since the horned trait in cattle is a recessive trait: polled gene is dominant.
What is the difference between a Hereford and a Polled Hereford?
There really isn't much of an obvious difference, except Herefords are a horned breed and Polled Herefords are bred to be naturally polled or hornless. Some of the Hereford breeders will tell you that the horned Herefords have more depth and are a little larger than the polled Herefords, but when a novice looks at a horned Hereford and a polled Hereford side-by-side, he will see no other obvious differences.
