How is Hornless cattle a harmful trait?

The Polled (Hornless) trait is caused by a dominant allele in domestic cattle. From the standpoint of many breeders the trait is a very favorable one, eliminating the need for dehorning andresulting in fewer injuries when new cattle are mixed into a herd. In cattle (even domestic varieties) that have to fend for themselves on the open range/in the wild, hornless cattle could be at a distinct disadvantage if they need to defend themselves from predators. A hornless bull, in the wild would be at a distinct disadvantage in a fight for dominance and the right to breed if the other male has horns.
