Do female cattle have horns?
I've been looking for an answer, but have not found.
Source would be great.

 

[Danger]

I can't speak toward sources, but having been born on a farm I can tell you that cows more assuredly do have horns.

Just to clarify, you're saying female cattle - cows - do indeed have horns as well as male cattle - bulls.

 

[Danger]

Right. And also steers (oxen), which are ex-males.

Yes, as Danger already pointed out, cows (the females) do have horns. Most cattle (males and females) are not seen with horns because they are de-horned as calves so they don't hurt the farmers/ranchers or each other.

Actually, many breeds of cattle never grow horns, such as the Angus and Polled Hereford. "Polled" is the general term for these cattle. Thus the "Polled Hereford" is a different breed than a "Hereford"(which has horns).
