Many of us have heard of the mischievous act of sneaking up to sleeping cows in the middle of night and then shoving them over.
When people talk about cow-tipping, I've usually heard of it as "matter of fact." (I know Minnesota is sometimes called a "cow-tipping state")
I have grown up in the state of Minnesota all my life. In fact, most of my life, I've grown up in the farming communities where there plenty of cows.
Yet, I have never seen actual cow tipping before, nor have ever known anyone that's admitted to doing this.
Is this a real thing or an urban legend? Perhaps some of the older people here that have grown up on farms can shed some light on this.
Ask the NSA.

Since that day, Chicago has been on a downward spiral.
Some people can’t take a hint.
Deo darling That gif is amazing! I love it!
I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your cattle and try the veal.
My cows, “Dexters and Dangus” only sleep laying down. I’ve often wondered if true.
Drunk. In college. Drove to the middle of nowhere, somewhere to the northwest of Tallahassee. There was a hill. It was dark. We stepped in cow crap. Found a cow standing on the side of hill. She looked over at us as we approached. Three of us came to within 5 feet or so of her. One, two, three and three beefy drunk students ran/pushed the side of the cow. I swear the cow looked startled as she not only went over, but had enough momentum that she was back up on her hooves in a frighteningly quick manner. Loud, loud moos mixed with much laughter until we turned around and saw the bull...
I have, its real hard to sneak up on them, and its dangerous with range cattle. I think I’ve been successful only once in my lifetime.
P.S. The only reason I think that I had been successful only once is because I can only remember once being able to push the cow over. Alcohol was involved many times and since I became a vet I quit activities like that. I have had the $41T kicked out of me many times before I reached 20.
Funny story. Once I was delivering a calf just like Dr. Pol in that picture and it was at night. The owner had called me and told me where it was and when I got there no one was around so I started right away repositioning the calf. I was laid out moving the calf’s head inside the uterus when I felt a lick on my neck. I didn’t know the owner had buffalo in the pasture also and having grown up near Lawton, Oklahoma, knew the dangers of them. I almost had a heart attack. I pulled the calf and quickly exited the pasture.
