Polled Herefords are a breed of cattle known for their naturally hornless trait, differentiating them from traditional Herefords, which typically have horns. This genetic characteristic is advantageous for management and safety, as it reduces the risk of injury to both cattle and handlers. Polled Herefords are valued for their high-quality beef production, adaptability to various climates, and efficient feed conversion. They are recognized for their calm temperament and are often used in crossbreeding to enhance herd quality.

If a hornless bull mates with a horned cow what are the two genotypes of the two parents?

Hornless = polled. Polled cows and bulls can be either homozygous polled or heterozygous polled. So, since we have no idea of what kind of calf they produce, the genotypical cross will look like this: (H = polled and h= horned) H_ x hh "H_" symbolizes the unknown allele that the polled bull has. 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.
