Animals with weapons
Animals with weapons are an unknown side of farming that farmers learned to deal with but most consumers didn’t have to.
For decades, cattle were proudly shown and displayed at exhibitions, not only showing off their superior beauty and productivity but also their elegant horns.
Many breeds of cattle are born with horns which at birth are only a small button the size of a pea which can be felt just under the skin on each side of the skull at the top. As the calf grows so do the horns and they protrude above the skin when the calf is only a few weeks old. Both males and females are born with horns.
