If you ask most consumers what breeds of cows have horns, many disconnected from agriculture would respond that bulls have horns and cows don’t.
This seems logical and hard to disprove because most dairy cows in milking form or in pictures have no horns.
The practice of dehorning has been performed over many years to protect cows from injuring other cows and the farmers that care for them. Dehorning is a common practice on dairy farms. However, it is something farmers do not like to do, and even with a variety of different methods, none can claim a pain-free procedure.
Many studies and research articles have been conducted and all have drawn the same conclusion: There is no physical way to remove horns on dairy animals without creating a task no human wants to do – causing pain to an animal – and thus creating an image the general public cannot understand.
