Random Moshe/Cow Associations

I'm still looking for support for my Moshe-as-Bovine-Calf-Replacement theory from Parshas Ki Tissa. If anyone, ANYONE, has anything to lend support to this theory I would be much obliged. I know we've got a bad taste in our mouths due to the whole "Jews have horns" thing, but I'm hoping we can look past that and appreciate the narrative symmetry at work here.

And don't forget the Hebrew word for ladybug is parat Moshe Rabbeinu. A while back I wrote a post about a few theories on how this name came to be adopted (the original article from the Forward has moved).
