[QUOTE="dun, post: 437327, member: 34"] At that age, if you grab a scur there will be some wiggle. If it's a horn it will be tight, i.e., no wiggle. Horns can crop up but only if both parents carry a gene for horns. Polled being dominant simply means that if they have one polled gene they will be polled. Scurs are a totally different set of genes. The reason you don;t see scurs on horned cattle is because the horn growing dominates the scurring. I have seen a couple of cows with horns that had little nubs growing near the base, but they were few and far between. [/QUOTE]
