I could be wrong but it seems there is not a breed of goats without horns. Being without horns is refered to as "polled" and is considered a genetic defect. It can appear in any breed. Yes, there is no breed without horns. Polled is a recessive gene and 2 polled animals should only be used for breeding if the owner is ready to accept a possibly heartbreaking mutation. It is called hermaphrodism. Rare, but possible.
