Some female goats, known as does, have horns due to genetic traits inherited from their breeds. While most female goats are naturally polled (hornless), certain breeds, such as Nubians and some dairy goats, can exhibit horn development in females. The presence of horns can also serve as a defense mechanism and a display of dominance within social structures. However, the specific reasons for horn development can vary widely among different goat breeds.
