You should always use your dominant hand to sign 'cow'. If you are right-handed, place the thumb of your right 'Y' hand against your right temple. If you are left-handed, use your left hand on your left temple.
While 'cow' uses the 'Y' handshape with the thumb at the temple, 'bull' is typically signed using the '3' handshape (thumb, index, and middle fingers extended) at the temple, or by using both hands to show two horns.
The twist is a simple pivoting motion at the wrist. Your pinkie finger will tilt forward and down slightly, then back up. A small, natural double twist of the wrist is all you need to complete the sign.
