[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1613512, member: 968"] Scurs can only be expressed on a polled animal. If you dehorn them at birth, it is very difficult to tell if they are horn buds or scurs - at least that is my experience. Polled gene is dominant. So, they only have to inherit 1 polled gene to be polled, but they might carry the horn gene. So, "most" Angus are carrying two polled genes (PP) and all their offspring will be polled (PP or Pp). A polled animal carrying a horned gene (Pp) bred to a Pp animal has a 25% chance of having a horned calf (pp) [/QUOTE]
