[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1468202, member: 12607"] Scurs have been present in the Angus genepool since early on in the breed's founding. At least two influential sires, way back in the early days - Shah and Hanton 80 - had scurs. That, however doesn't mean that the presence of scurs in today's cattle isn't the result of introduction of 'non-Angus' genetics at some point in the past... whether unrealized (fence-jumping neighbor's bull) or nefariously concealed by unscrupulous breeders. I've used one well-known Angus AI sire that's been reputed to sire scurs - but have not seen them personally. Horn and scur genes are present in my crossbred herd... had a scurred cow, sired by an Angus AI sire with a GAR prefix... in order for a cow to express scurs, she has to inherit a copy from both parents... so I know that bull is a carrier...assuming Select Sires put the correct semen in the straw.
