Animal sacrifice was simply a temporary measure put in place until a more permanent solution arrived, which was Christ (lamb of God), as symbolized by Abraham sacrificing the ram, caught in a thicket by his horns, and sacrificed in the place of Isaac.
Therefor I believe the horn symbology has more to do with the ram than the bull.
I believe that as well, as far as the spiritual symbology is concerned. But that doesn’t mean there also can’t be any connections to earlier ANE religion. The two, imo, are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
