The same kind of horns that any other bovine (cow or bull) has. But if it's to describe the shape, they are short and curved, often made to curve down and towards the head of the animal to minimize risk of injuring other bulls and cows or the handlers.

∙ 13y agoHereford cattle can be either polled or horned, the genetics of the animal determine if the animal will have horns or will be born polled. Historically, though, the majority of animals of the Hereford breed were horned. It wasn't until the 20th century that polled Herefords began to gain ground.

∙ 14y agoYes, actually they do. Both the females and males have horns, and the breeder puts horn weights on the horns so that they grow down instead of up. However, there are Herefords that are polled (or hornless) as well, often called Polled Herefords when distinguishing between those Herefords that are horned (also called Horned Herefords). All in all, horned or polled, Herefords are Herefords.

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.
