Which term describes animals that are naturally hornless?

Polled Sire Chick Broilers

Correct Answer:

Polled

Explanation:

Polled describes animals that are hornless from birth. It is a hereditary trait used across livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats, and breeders aim to select polled animals to avoid dehorning for safety and management reasons. The other terms don’t describe horn status: a sire is a male parent, a chick is a young chicken, and broilers are meat-focused chickens.
