The effects of the Clay Cow are sort of gradual. The Many Birthing Cow is another similar treasure, but it produces more calves, but only in calving seasons.
(Perhaps the effects are too subtle, but if they were too blatant it would unbalance the game, as you could always give away all your cows and be guaranteed of getting them back.)

I don't think it's ever quite 100, but "Over the next few days, people from all over Dragon Pass brought us cows, thanking for having performed the Blessings of Uralda heroquest, and bringing health and fertility to everyone's herds."

I don't see how 200 would be possible -- however, the quest does have a "baseline benefit" which increases cattle fertility and decreases cattle disease, so looking at year-to-year totals might give you larger numbers.
