Not trimmed, tipped. Most bulls, though, may also be either dehorned at a very young age or born without horns (i.e., polled). Some producers choose to do nothing due to aesthetics or because they feel it is unnecessary.

Are cows born with horns?

Not all cows do. Holsteins are naturally horned, so their horns need to be trimmed or cut before their horns get too big, which is when they are a few months old if horn buds can be seen or felt. However, other cows can be born polled or hornless and do not need to have their horns trimmed. The naturally polled breeds of cattle include Angus, Red Angus, Brangus, Red Brangus and Galloway. Horns is a recessive gene in cattle, so if a horned cow mates with a polled bull, the offspring will be polled. But mating horned with horned produces horned offspring, or hetero polled with hetero polled have a 25% chance of producing horned offspring.

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.


Do female cows have horns?

Yes. Both bulls and cows can have horns. Whether a particular sex has horns or not is a very poor method of telling whether a bovine is male or female.
