The horns are a defense against predators - when threatened, cows form a circle with their tails in the center and their heads out. The cows all lower their heads to put the horns between the predator and the rest of the cows. Cows can use their horns to gore wolves, coyotes, mountain lions and other large predators to death.
There are two main types of cow horns: twisted horns and straight horns. Twisted horns are curved and spiral-shaped, while straight horns are, well, straight. The size and shape of cow horns can vary depending on the breed of cow. Some cows have long, wide horns, while others have shorter, narrower horns. Overall, the size and shape of cow horns are determined by genetics and can vary greatly between individual cows.
