[QUOTE="Jake, post: 1120455, member: 4"] If human selection is working in favor of the polled gene yes. I don't know if fighting off predators is as much a factor as simply overpowering rival bulls. Horned bulls run with polled bulls in a natural setting will breed more cows and pass along that recessive gene more often because of their ability to whip the polled bull. I can tell you I would rather be hit with a round head than a pointed horn and cattle feel the same way. [/QUOTE]
