Looks good, but the CR sure isn't 2 anymore. It's 3, maybe even 4--it can do a ridiculous amount of damage on a powerful charge.

How about a strong 3?

Charge damage equals a rhino, but it has 3 less HD and 3 worse AC.

Suggested descriptive text/flavor text/length and weight?

That sounds fair to me, but I'll let the paleontologists here give you the descriptive stuff. ;)

This creature resembles a lean buffalo, except that its massive horns stretch downwards and widely.

Pelorovis is a relative of the buffalo, although it is more restricted in habitat to flat, dry areas. Like other buffalo, they live in large herds and migrate great distances in search of food, and like other buffalo, they are agressive in defending themselves. Their mighty horns are used both to fend off predators and in interspecific combat. Combat between pelorovis is generally a ritualized affair, with the two parties briefly tapping, rather than locking, horns, and the more intimidating individual with the wider spread tends to victory.

Pelorovis, despite their impressive defensive array, is preyed upon by great cats, agriotherium, and humanoids (although these tend to scavenge dead pelorovis, rather than risk fighting a live one). Both primitive humans and orcs use pelorovis horn and bones as tools. For the statistics of a polearm fashioned from a pelorovis horn, use a guisarme.

Love it!

Updated.

A pelorovis is about x feet long, stands 6 feet tall at the shoulders, and weighs x pounds.

For tactics, the males open with a powerful charge if the herd is threatened, then stampede if things turn against them?

Sounds fair, although any individual who's threatened should charge. Buffalo are violent creatures--one of the top five killers of humans among African animals (Number 1 is the hippo).
