Horns on domesticated cattle serve no useful purpose and are responsible for losses which, in the aggregate, amount to many thousands of pounds every year. Horn-caused bruises lead to reduced prices for beef carcasses, and many cases of mastitis in dairy herds have their origin in udder injuries resulting from horn-prods. In addition, the fear inspired by horned boss cows leads to lowered milk production from their more timid herd-mates, while the possession of horns adds to the risks of handling the herd bulls
