I think it's been agreed that turning the victim into a full-on cow isn't really an option. A slightly more detailed version of the TF seen in "That's So Raven" might be the most realistic choice, although personally I'd love to go for a humanoid cow-creature, i.e. a cow that's standing upright and still has vaguely human features from the neck down, but the head (aside from some blonde hair or whatnot) is wholly bovine. A cuter, less monstrous version of the were-sheep from "Black Sheep," basically. The brain would also shrink to appropriately cow-like proportions (one effect which could be rendered through CGI), only because I have a weird thing for lowering IQs.
But if we were to follow the Helen/Cassie premise I offered, the crew would have to build TWO cow-creature costumes (one for the original cow-creature who infects the victim, and another for the victim herself). That probably isn't realistic, either...but damn it would be awesome.
Your suggestion about dramatically cutting away from the TF at a pivotal moment is an interesting one. The audience would still get most of "the goods" (so to speak), but the filmmaker would also be able to cut a few corners budget-wise. Maybe about 80% into the TF, the heroine could watch in horror as a giant udder rips out from her pants, and then the scene could cut to the fully transformed, mentally degraded cow-woman emerging from the shadows with a soft "moo." Just tossing around ideas here.
