Domestic goats have been utilized by humans for over 8,000 years for their meat, milk, and wool. Polled goats are individuals of goat breeds that are naturally hornless. The term "polled" refers to the genetic trait of lacking horns. While many goat breeds typically have horns, breeders have selectively bred goats without horns due to various reasons, including safety concerns and ease of handling. The absence of horns can reduce the chances of injury to both the goat and its handlers.
