Make sure you have enough land for the cows. At the Sacred Time screen, click on them to make sure they are not malnourished. Put an Uralda god-speaker on your ring -- thus will allow you to sacrifice for more herd magics.
You could also be over-enthused on sacrificing cows. I try to sacrifice goods first.
Raid for cattle. Cattleraiding doesn't irk the neighbors too much and can often net 20+ cattle each time.

Ah, you must do the start a tribe quest before you can really start one -- you DO need the blessings of the gods for such a radical change. Right choice? Not really --- have a high magic and read the legend. Do what the god did in the past. Knowing all the secrets helps.
Emulate and sacrifice to that god before hand. Oh, and having assistants is a god-send, as it were.

Dark? The Trolls attack, I take it?

Hope this helps.
