That is creepy! Here is a cow myth [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Thawing frost then became a cow called Audhumla. Four rivers of milk ran from her teats, and she fed Ymir.
Buri, Bor, and Bestla
The cow licked salty ice blocks. After one day of licking, she freed a man's hair from the ice. After two days, his head appeared. On the third day the whole man was there. His name was Buri, and he was tall, strong, and handsome.
Buri begot a son named Bor, and Bor married Bestla, the daughter of a giant. [ link to www.pitt.edu] There was a really good norse site, I think aether posted, but I can't remember the name of it. Here is cattle in religion [ link to en.wikipedia.org] The Hebrew God in the old testament did not like the worship of the Bull.  but the bull or cow is in tons of creation myths. Yes. Rig Veda Which usually is translated as: "The fiend who consumes flesh of cattle, with flesh of horses and of human bodies, who slaughters the milk producing cow, O Agni, tear off the heads of such with fiery fury". The milk-giving cow here is described as “Aghnya” which means “that what is not to be sacrificed”. This would imply that sacrifice was practiced in the Vedic period.Egypt The ancient Egyptians sacrificed animals, but not the cow because it was sacred to goddess Hathor, and also due to the contemporary Greek myth of Io, who had the form of a cow.
In Egyptian mythology, Hesat was the manifestation of Hathor, the divine sky-cow, in earthly form. Like Hathor, she was seen as the wife of Ra. In hieroglyphs she is depicted as a cow with a hat.
