So that’s how it’s done: you pay them to fall over.

@clark kent: which is why alcohol is usually involved

He also kept putting his money on the horses…

:-) Not to be too sticky but I think the word is “patties”. Something else that looks like second base. :-)

My grandparents were farmers. My Dad got me a job working in Ag during the summer before I graduated from high school. I didn’t go to college, I chose the US Navy’s applied schooling on earning my way. It worked. :-)

I think the greatest twist on cow tipping was in the Disney film “Cars”. It takes “tractor tipping” to a new level!

No use crying over spilled milk……. eh what farmers……….

Born and raised on a large cattle ranch, it’s hard for me to believe anyone ever tipped a cow. It would take several big men to overcome the cows weight and then she would just naturally move her feet out to catch herself. Kind of sounds like one of those things someone made up and it just grew from there. But then I never tried it. Why would you want to tip a cow over anyway?

I grew up on a dairy farm. No cow would stand for being tipped. They would run away as they don’t particularly like to be touched and most of them are somewhat spooked by people being near them. Which is good, because otherwise a farmer would not be able to herd them (get them to move in a particular direction for a particular purpose) if they did not fear people and dogs. So the whole thing about cow tipping is a joke on people who don’t know better but sounds like it would be entertaining for some reason. Cows are living, breathing, frequently moooving creatures and not some toy or statue that a vandal could tip over.
