Cut them slightly less than half way round(from the top) of the bend. Flip them over and place the brakes about an inch from the cut edge.

There's a place in Los Angeles where you can get cow horns pretty cheaply. It's called Olvera Street, and if you go there, make sure you have some taquitos from Cielito Londo before you leave!
