If you can get him tied up and isolate his head (squeeze chute), take a hand saw and cut them down (the more teeth the cleaner the cut). Usually cutting them to a 50 cent piece diameter does it. Watch out for squirting blood on you and whatever is around! You can see about getting some blood stopping medicine at the farm store, or cauterize it with red hot iron. (no soldering iron as this will poison him.)
Come out from the base of the horn about 4inches or slightly more if the base is very large. The horn is capped over some marrow. (kind of like under a fingernail.)
All of this is much easier described than done. These can end up being the stories around the local morning coffee hang out :)
If he is tossing them around and you have small kids, a cow is easier to see go than a kid.
