Cows don't have horns. Bulls, or "male cows" do.

Answer 2:The first answer above is NOT TRUE!! Firstly, 'cows' may colloquially refer to domesticated bovine in a gender-neutral manner, as it appears to in the structure of this question. Secondly, cows (as in female mature bovines) can have horns, though they are generally smaller than bulls of the same breed. Most of the modern breeds have been selected for not having horns, while those that do often have their horn buds removes as calves. Answer 3:Cows of those breeds that are known to be horned, which is pretty much every breed except the following:

Angus/Red Angus

Galloway

Belted Galloway

Red Poll

Red Brangus

Brangus

British White

Speckle Park

Pretty much all other breeds have cows AND bulls that have horns. Within those breeds that are historically known to have horns, there are also polled animals. But those polled animals you see of a particular breed like Gelbvieh, Charolais, Simmental, Hereford, Shorthorn, etc., does not mean that ALL of the animals of that breed are polled: bulls and cows can be polled, and bulls and cows can be horned. In the entire world, horned breeds outnumber polled breeds by 1:100, approximately.

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.
