The scurs locus in cattle maps to bovine chromosome 19.

Animal genetics - 1 Feb 2004

Asai M, Berryere T G, Schmutz S M

Abstract excerpt

Polled, or the absence of horns, is a desirable trait for many cattle breeders. However, the presence of scurs, which are small horn-like structures that are not attached to the skull, can lower the value of an animal. The scurs trait has been reported as sex influenced. Using a genome scan with 162 autosomal microsatellite markers genotyped across three full-sib families, the scurs locus was mapped near BMS2142...
