On an Angus or Angus x you get a good proportion polled. But baz cattle are not polled in U.K. Sometimes horns come late and catch us out. Little devil's points at yearling stage.

I think the problems with Rheas etc mainly is there are no local vets and nowhere for the meat to go? No local abattoir for rhea meat as I know and not sure if they would fit in an domestic oven. Ive seen them for sale on FB but no takers - have no point being here. You only keep alpacas if you are middle class small holder and have time to spin wool for expensive socks (nice though). Still pricey though so assume still in demand.

Big welfare problem down here with alpacas. Some vets won't touch them, and they do need touching. Feet, teeth and shearing.
Sold as a BOGOF in local markets down here. Very sad for the animals.
