[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1653011, member: 25884"] There are polled holsteins, polled jerseys, and probably most every breed of dairy cattle has at least one polled offshoot. One of the reasons for it is to stop some of the criticism by all the do-gooder animal rights idiots on how horrible dehorning is. Yes it is not pleasant, but cows gouging other cows, and people getting hurt is one of the reasons that dehorning started. Plus it is less work for the dairyman.... I treasure my one longhorn cow though... she does not like strange dogs in the field and I am glad that she is that protective..... she will shake her head at a cow that gets in her space sometimes, but I have never seen her use her horns on any of the others and they do not seem shy around her at all so I don't think she is aggressive with them in general. Some of the dairy cows can get pretty b%$@y with their horns..... [/QUOTE]
