[QUOTE="dun, post: 646690, member: 34"] You'll have to live with the simple genetic resaerch that says scurs and horns aren;t related. If an animal is horned the area that the scurs would be formed are overgrown by the horn. If an animal is dehorned/disbudded, the part of the hide that would grow the scurs is removed so it appears to be non-scurred. I'll agree that the total understanding of scurs isn;t very good. Years ago we used an old line of linebred Angus bulls on Holtein heifers. I don;t know how the bull calves turned out becuase they were shipped at 8-10 weeks. Most of the heifers were scurred.
