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.

Polled cattle apparently existed in Scotland before recorded history because the likeness of such cattle is found in prehistoric carvings of Aberdeen and Angus. Historians state that there were hornless cattle in Siberia centuries earlier. A hornless race of cattle was depicted in Egypt by sculptors and painters of that ancient civilization. Some historians feel that the Aberdeen-Angus breed and the other Scottish breeds sprang from the aboriginal cattle of the country and that the breeds as we find them today are indigenous to the districts in which they are still found."Early Scottish Cattle. Although little is known about the early origin of the cattle that later became known as the Aberdeen-Angus breed, it is thought that the improvement of the original stock found in the area began in the last half of the 18th century. The cattle found in northern Scotland were not of uniform color, and many of the cattle of the early days had varied color markings or broken color patterns. Many of the cattle were polled, but some few had horns. The characteristics we commonly call polled was often referred to in the old Scottish writings by the terms of 'humble,' 'doddies,' 'humlies,' or 'homyl.'"In the link below, is a more in-depth look at the history of how the Angus cattle became a breed.
