[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 44801, member: 245"] I actually questioned the vet at the time i bought that Simm-Angus bull and he said that if you have a really dominant horned cow that you can end up with a horned calf. That kind of flies in the face of what I've always been taught. As far as the hereford bull goes, the majority of my cows at that time were horned and that was the only calf that year that had horns although they weren't big. It is possible that the hereford bull was not homozygous but if that was the case, it would be odd. I've known the guy who sold him to me forever almost. When I was a kid, I used to groom his bulls for him for the local sale. He has never had anything but polled animals as long as I've known him. [/QUOTE]
