I actually caught Andy in a mistake, never thought that would happen.
Wether a cow (or bull) grows antlers is breed dependant.  If the breed
does not grow horns they are called "Polled".  I'm not sure why taking
a poll removes your horns, but I am avoiding telephone polls because I'm
not sure what else is removed.

(Grew up on a beef farm, we raised Polled Herefords.  Occasionally I
 helped the neighbors with their dairy cows.  I have the (dubious) brag
 of saying I reached into a cow up to my shoulders in order to turn a
 calf.)
