[QUOTE="jnowack, post: 223261, member: 3954"] I assume we are talking about a registered angus bull bred to registered angus cows throwing a lot of scurs. The angus breed is almost all homozygous polled. Some would say they all are. Given than scurs are not expressed but may be carried by homo polled animals, there could be a lot of scur genes floating around in angus cattle that are undetectable until a horn gene is present. The bull that has a lot of scurred progeny is most likely a hetero polled non scur carrier. \ If the bull in question carried the scur gene and was smooth polled, then he was homo polled. If this were the case then you would probably not see very many scurs out of him because almost all of the angus cows are homo polled and the resulting calves would be also. [/QUOTE]
