Article Check - Horns and Scurs In Cattle
I heard this story told about film director Cecil B. DeMille. I have no way of knowing if it's true, but the story beautifully captures the communications stall.Mr. DeMille spared no expense to part the Red Sea for his epic production of The Ten Commandments. Actors, engineers, horses, and assorted other animals were everywhere. The dust, heat, and noise were ferocious. Finally, everyo
When both parents are heterozygous, one-fourth of the offspring should express the recessive (horns) gene. If the parents carried only dominant genes (two polled genes), then all resulting offspring would be pol
One of the biggest challenges for Canadian company owners is obtaining business financing. As a first instinct, owners usually try to go to the bank hoping for a business loan or line of credit. They soon find that qualifying for bank financing is hard, as the bank will demand collateral and three years worth of financial statements. Although large companies can qualify for bank funding, most
The polled or hornless condition is dominant over the horned condition in cattle. The scurred condition is the result of incomplete dominance. Although scurs look like horns, they are attached to the skin, not to the skull of the animal.
In most breeds of cattle, horns are produced by a recessive gene, and the polled gene is dominant.
If you breed two animals with horns, the offspring will have horns; but if you breed two polled animals, the offspring could be horned or polled.
The horned calf out of two polled animals is a case of dominant genes (polled) masking a recessive gene (horns). Both the polled and horned genes were present, but only the results from the dominant polled gene was visible. This is known as a heterozygous gene arrangement for a trait.

There can hardly be a driver in America who hasn't been cruising down the highway when the regular programming on the radio is interrupted for a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. A brief warning that a test is about to occur is followed by a burst of tones that sounds like it's coming from a dial-up computer modem followed by a reminder that what was just aired was a test.Or, per

I encourage each of you beef cattle breeders to consider these four steps in your Beef Cattle Marketing program.BUILD THE RIGHT PRODUCT There is no question that the most important thing in seedstock marketing is to develop the right product. That product is cattle with the kind of genetics that satisfy customers, solve problems and make money. To do this a breeder not only needs

Workholding components are usually accuracy made production tooling used to securely and precisely place and hold work pieces in a production line course. Workholding components normally comprises of alignment pins, finders, clamps, jaws, bushings, modular fixtures, and as well of some other vises. A worktable vise has flat; a like jaws and is close to a workbench.A machine vise clamps

Traditionally small to mid sized businesses have been set up with what is called multi-tier pricing for their credit card processing. This system is usually set up with three tiers (qualified, mid-qualified, and non-qualifed.) Occassionally, if the business owner has negotiated well, there will be a fourth tier for qualified offline debit cards. While this system has worked well for many y

There is no way to look at an animal and determine if it is homozygous or heterozygous polled. This genetic makeup has to be determined by tracing the animal's ancestry for a generation or two. Even then it is sometimes only a good guess. If he/she is homozygous-recessive and has horns, then horns will be present in all offspring.
Another unknown can occasionally appear because a mutation can occur in some animals, which causes the polled condition, such as with Polled Herefords.
Horns or the polled condition are easy to explain, but scurs are more difficult to understand.
An animal with scurs is neither polled nor horned. While horns are attached to the skull, scurs are attached to skin. Scurs are a case of incomplete dominance. Most of the time a scurred animal reproduces its scurs as horns. This condition is seen many times in Polled Hereford, Brahman-crossbred cattle, and mysteriously in Angus cattle that are homozygo
