[QUOTE="txag, post: 44774, member: 8"] the only thing i can think of with your bull is that for some reason there's some kind of incomplete dominance going on. he's heterozygous (a polled gene from the angus bull & a horned gene from the horned simmi cow), so he should be polled (because it's dominant) but for some reason, it's not completely dominant & thus the small horns. as for the horned calf from the double polled bull, how are you referring to him as double polled? some polled hereford bulls (even those from polled sire & dam) carry the horned gene.
