Dear Kathy, I'm looking at comparative thickness of the cortex of long bones, so I would also be very interested if anyone else has anything on this. I have a couple of references here, not seen anything on bovids I'm sorry: Skedros, JG, Sybrowsky, CL, Parry, TR and Bloebaum, RD (2003) Regional differences in cortical bone organization and microdamage prevalence in Rocky Mountain mule deer. The Anatomical Record Part A 274A:837-850. Davis, SJM (2000) The effect of castration and age on the development of the Shetland sheep skeleton and a metric comparison between bones of males, females and castrates. Journal of Archaeological Science 27:373-390 Horwitz, LK and Smith, P (1990) A radiogrpahic study of th extent of variation in cortical bone thickness in Soay sheep. Journal of Archaeological Science 17:655-664. There is HEAPS on human bones if that is any good to you for comparison. I have a couple of figures on sheep (and kangaroo) femoral thickness from my own small study, if this is the sort of thing you are after.
