I have a bull calf that is 10 months old---horns just beginning to show but they move around when you push around on them-- apparently not attached to his skull--is this a scurr or what & will they continue to grow if I don't remove them?
what is this?

They will probably grow a little and maybe firm up a bit too but if they are scurs, they never harden into a horn. Horns are firmly attached at the base.
And then, there is always the things you have never seen before too.

My "guess" is they are scurs because of his age and the fact that they wiggle....we have a horned breed and the males develop horn buds early, around 2 months of age, and nothing wiggles.

I have seen cows with floppy horns. They hang down alongside the face. People around here call them "banana" horns. The cattle usually have Brahman breeding.
