I think I give up. Impressing modelling indeed. Thank you for showing.

Great job Rich.

Just curious Rich. How do you know how to split model(divide) and do you model half as component before combining and subdivision?
Did you use a plugin for texturing? (i.e Fredo´s Thrupaint)

I began with the cow/bull horns and decided on 8 segments for the profile. This meant I had some idea of the volume needed to create the head portion. I did only model half and mirror it. But because the photo was not completely straight I exploded the geometry and tweaked the mirrored side to match the photo.

It was more point to point modelling than box modelling.

No, just projection of your photo. I did use Texture > Position on areas where needed. But 90% is projection.

My try.
Untill I learn more of subdivision i used Curviloft and scale for this model
