Well, if a Trickster could create a "functional" cow, with duration measured in the years, he'd deserve it!
A more feasible sort of Trick is one that creates a "limited" cow, or one with very short "duration", or one that gulls someone into thinking that something less valuable is a prize cow, and then making the deal before the other party wisens up.
c.f. "pig in a poke"/"letting the cat out of the bag"...
