[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1338237, member: 12607"] Ebenezer, Scurs have been present in the Angus breed from its very beginning - Shah and Hanton 80, two very early Angus sires, were scurred. That's not to say that the scur gene may not have also been introduced into the breed in other manners... I had a 3/4 AN cow, sired by a GAR sire, a son of 1680, that was carried by SelectSires for years... that had scurs. Being a female, she had to have inherited the scur gene from both parents - both the Angus sire and her ANXSimAngus dam(who could very well have carried scur &/or horn genes, but is, herself, smooth polled) I'd strongly considered using Baldridge Waylon, but was warned off of him by a now-deceased trusted friend and Angus breeder, because of possible foot issues - which seem to be a problem for many Protege offspring (though Shrek was touted as a 'good-footed' Protege son).
