Horn shape is very varible within a breed, Limousin cattle for instance may have forward, downward or even upward curved horns. I think it is impossible to identify it from a skull.

Hej, MacF

As Klispringer mentions, it could be from a Limousin cow. It does not look like any antelope that I know of

Not much of a help

It is probably just a normal Nguni cow, ancient across Africa.
