19 Down: Reportedly understood to cut horns off a cow (7)

Have R?D?O?L

Redpoll fits but it is a bird not a cow!

Suggestions bovine or otherwise much appreciated.

redpoll is correct - it can also be an animal of a breed of red-haired polled cattle.

I have a problem with the top right corner, namely..
6d. Fierce person that's good in a row (5) A-G-R
and 8d. Consider employees extremely qualified for a rise (6) D-T-E-.
I have anger and dither but I don't like either, and it makes me wonder whether the across clue supplying the first letter of these two answers is correct.
