It's possible, however all registeterd Angus cattle are polled. A few animals may be scurred, but that's not that common. Any black cattle that are horned are not fullblood or purebred Angus. The various Angus Associations around the world will not recognize horned black cattle as Angus cattle when a producer tries to register such animals.
The scurs or horns (if they do present themselves) come from the influence and breeding-up done by producers when they have introduced Jersey and Shorthorn (earlier in the breed's history) into the Angus bloodline to deter from too much inbreeding. Both of these breeds are horned, Jersey moreso today than Shorthorn, and it should be no surprise that horns or scurs may come up in some fullblood or "purebred" Angus cattle. But as mentioned above, if such animals come about, they do not qualify to be registered and are only recognized as commercial Angus cattle.

In the northern areas of the states, they dock for excess ear and horns as well as a mottled-coloured hide. Down in the south they only dock if they don't have a sold coloured hide and if they have horns.

Do mavericks have horns?

So, whether a maverick has horns or not varies based on its genetics.
What breed of female cattle have horns?
Almost all breeds of cattle are born with buds, the ability to grow horns. The horns are almost always removed at a young age. Sometimes farmers allow the cattle to grow horns, depending on what breed they're raising. A few breeds have been developed in which the offspring are polled, that is, do not have the ability to grow horns. 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. 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. The naturally polled breeds of cattle include Angus, Red Angus, Brangus, Red Brangus and Galloway.
