Yes. Both bulls and cows can have horns. Whether a particular sex has horns or not is a very poor method of telling whether a bovine is male or female.

The horns are a defense against predators - when threatened, cows form a circle with their tails in the center and their heads out. The cows all lower their heads to put the horns between the predator and the rest of the cows. Cows can use their horns to gore wolves, coyotes, mountain lions and other large predators to death.


Are cows born with horns?

Not all cows do. Holsteins are naturally horned, so their horns need to be trimmed or cut before their horns get too big, which is when they are a few months old if horn buds can be seen or felt. However, other cows can be born polled or hornless and do not need to have their horns trimmed. The naturally polled breeds of cattle include Angus, Red Angus, Brangus, Red Brangus and Galloway. Horns is a recessive gene in cattle, so if a horned cow mates with a polled bull, the offspring will be polled. But mating horned with horned produces horned offspring, or hetero polled with hetero polled have a 25% chance of producing horned offspring.
