Hello Jacqui!
In Jonas Ekströms dissertation "The Late Quaternary History of the Urus
(Bos primigenius Bojanus 1827) in Sweden" there is a redraw from
Boessneck´s publication (1964) and in Degerbol´s publication there is
pictures of two mounted skeleton (male and female) Bos primigenius...
Best regards,
Ylva Telldahl
