Uralda isn't a person, and as a heortling goddess is bound by the Compromise anyway, so I don't think this is realy relevent. A Uralda worshiper might take offence of course, and decide to punish the trickster.
Mythicaly, trickster was present whenever the world changed, and had a hand in almost every major mythic event even if his contribution is often forgotten (at least, people try to forget as hard as possible sometimes), hence the wide range of his mischievous abilities. In order to get the ability to create fake cows, he must have been involved in some mythical adventure where he learned to make cows.
On a different point, in RQ a Create Cow spell would do exactly that, and you'd need a different spell to make cow smells, etc. In HW I imagine you'd have a Create Cow feat, which would allow you to create a full cow at a high difficulty, or cow smells, etc at lower resistances.
