While Angus cattle are known for their polled (hornless) nature, there are still some Angus breeds that can develop horns. This is due to genetic variation within the breed.
Here's a breakdown:
* Polled Angus: The majority of Angus cattle are polled, meaning they are bred to be hornless. This is the most common type of Angus.
* Horned Angus: While less common, some Angus cattle still have horns. This is due to recessive genes that can be passed down, even in polled lines.
Important Note: Whether or not an Angus calf will have horns depends on the specific genetics of its parents. If both parents are polled, the calf is highly likely to be polled as well. However, if one or both parents are horned, the calf may inherit the horn genes and develop horns.
