This is from Goat Medicine:
"...Within the breeds originating in western Europe (such as Saanen, Alpine, and Toggenburg), there is a well known and much studied association between the natural absence of horns and the intersex condition. The condition also occurs on the Damascus or Shami goat. It is likely that Nubian and Angora goats have a different inheritance of horns. The polled intersex condition is not reported in these breeds, although freemartin's may occur..."
