A polled goat is hornless.
Correct. "Polled" is the term given to cattle and goats that never grow horns. For example, Red Polls and Angus are cattle breeds that are naturally polled. Appenzells are a naturally polled breed of goats.

Hornless = polled. Polled cows and bulls can be either homozygous polled or heterozygous polled. So, since we have no idea of what kind of calf they produce, the genotypical cross will look like this: (H = polled and h= horned) H_ x hh "H_" symbolizes the unknown allele that the polled bull has. Is he hetero polled or homozygous polled? The "hh" of the cow symbolizes she is homozygous horned, since the horned trait in cattle is a recessive trait: polled gene is dominant.
By calling a person a goat it implies that the person is stupid and does not show any intelligence. A goat is considered to be one of the dumbest animals in existence.
Polled means surveyed. In this context, it probably means that a set of people were asked about their view on some thing(s).
