Cow-Tipping, is it real?

[MNDude]

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.

I never tip more than 15%, no matter how fat the waitress is.

Cow tipping is real. Here is photographic proof.

One thing we do know is that an agitated beeve that has their horns can bring down a helicopter.

It began as a misprint of “Cow-Tupping”, which is performed by sturdy young lads in Ioway.

Wouldn’t the tipping of the goats be caused by Global Warming?

I've only seen it caused by teenage and younger girls, including my daughter.

It all depends on service, of course.

While in high school I helped with a dairy herd. While getting one plugged in it managed to kick me twice.

I worked on my Uncle's dairy farm and one time I placed the disinfectant rag on a teat not realizing she had scraped it on a barbed wire fence. She kicked me so hard I flew a few feet across the milk house.

Hurt like heck and all I could hear was my Uncle laughing.

I’m from Wisconsin. It is real.

And chocolate milk comes from Jersey's but only if pump the tail while milking.

But not as “tasty” as tipping a Spotted Cow! Or, even, a Fat Squirrel.

And never, EVER, let your urine stream hit the wire. . .

Don't about cow tipping, but "smart" car tipping is real:

As a city kid I never thought it was, till I moved to rural Michigan and some of the local kids explained it to me.

To me sounds like a dandy way to get shot by a farmer.

Have owned a bunch of cows, but none of them ever expected a tip. :)

I like mine well done....................

Now if you are talking horses, I do know how to throw a horse, and have done it more than once.
